I found this to be an excellent recipe. I did have to cook it more time than indicated (can't remember exactly how much.) I cooked it until there was just a slight jiggle in the middle like a cheese cake. I also found that it was better the next night after I cooked it. I will definately make it again. Thanks for sharing!
