    I made this for Christmas two or three years ago. It was absolutely delicious, and lasted my wife and I a few days. I'm thinking of serving it again for the holiday this year. Glenn - 10/19/19

    I cut the cream half and half with milk, the calorie hit is still significant. But it's good. - 4/26/18
