Delicious! Rich with the coffee and chocolate flavor. I had no problem getting it to set up. I used Splenda for the white sugar. I also used de-caf, since we were having this in the evening and wanted to sleep :) Served with Fat-free Cool Whip and chopped pecans.

I don't know what went wrong. I followed the recipe exactly, but the custard never set. The taste and smell was amazing. The recipe calls for 5 tablespoons of brown sugar, and I think maybe it was 1 tbs of brown, and 4 of white. I don't know. Made and Reviewed for Photo Tag.
