Very, very tasty and so easy! Made enough to perfectly fill 8 premade tart shells. I used half brown and half white sugar, and whipping cream instead of half & half. Very rich and buttery -- just one is more than enough! DH (who isn't big on sweets) loved them, compared them to Chess Pie (a favorite of ours). I think these would be lovely for Christmas. Thanks for the recipe! -
These were great , everyone loved them , I left out the half and half . But I sure would make these again , and the freeze very well.

Most of my recipes are dairy free since I discovered many years ago that I am lactose intolerant. While I have had to give up some much-loved recipes, we have discovered that most can be modified to accommodate the changes to our diet. Most of my recipes say dairy free but there are a few from my childhood that may have dairy! I also have an intolerance to MSG so we spend a lot of time reading labels. Usually, it is just easier to cook from scratch, so we don't use many pre-made foods from the grocery store.</p> I like recipes I can make with minimal ingredients, real food I have in my kitchen, that are also easy to make!
