Best in the World! I added a few more egg yolks to make it a bit more "custardy"

Very good and easy. We made this for Thanksgiving dessert and it was wonderful! It did take a good deal longer to cook. I think it took pretty close to an hour, but eventually it did set up. The texture wasn't quite as creamy as others I have had, but it was enjoyed by all.
