Made this the other night as a dessert and we loved it. Similar to a rice pudding. Added some cinnamon and splenda (in place of sugar)after serving it out as well. This tastes so good and would make a great way to start the day. Keep an eye on the cooking, mine was done earlier than the time given. Thanks for posting a keeper!
