This is sweet, spicy and cream, just what your mother ordered to encourage sweet dreams. I made as written. Thanks for the post.

I liked this - perfect for a cold afternoon, spicy and creamy. Made for ZWT 6 by Unrulies Under The Influence.

I am not sure if i did something wrong, i followed the directions but it just did not work for me but i could not find mace blade so i had to skip that. I will try to make it again as i thought it was a good looking recipe. Made for ZWT6

Wonderful smooth flavour and slightly creamy from the addition of starch. I made a mistake and boiled my "milk" Recipe #174601, which made it separate but it was the last bit so I decided to go through with making it and just whisked it back together. Make sure you watch it especially if using a milk substitute as they tend to separate easily. I used allspice instead of the mace blade, white sugar, tapioca starch which works the same as cornstarch to be corn free & spring water. I may make this again for DD (toddler). Made for ZWT6 Germany/Benelux region, for my team The Ya Ya Cookerhood.
