This is just delightful. Taste like a high class banana pudding. Wonderful combination of flavors and just the right texture. Would be great with vanilla ice cream. The recipe didn't say what to do with the last 3 tbls of rum so I added it to step 10, so my topping was not crumbly. I just spooned it over the top of each ramekin. Don't think that that altered the taste or the texture. Thanks for a great recipe.
