  1. I have GOT to make this when I get back to the US!!!!!!!!!!! It is definitely "all me!" Thanks Jodie!
     
  2. This was so rich and creamy. Everyone liked them.
     
  3. Oh theis was soooo good. Not too anything. I would use less cloves & maybe add vanilla. It was easy & they came out perfect. I used 3 2c ramekins, lol, & they were just right after 1 hour. Silky....not too sweet - I used brown sugar - and just wonderful. Thank you. This would be a nice holiday dessert.
     
  4. Rich, creamy and delectable. I made 4 x 1-cup serves, as I don't have 1/2 cup ramekin dishes, and substituted dark brown sugar for palm sugar. They cooked for around 60 minutes, and were perfect (just a slight wobble when taken from the oven!). I served them chilled with icecream. We will definitely have these again. Thanks Fairy Nuff for posting.
