    Very very good. I thought it was going to taste like a pumpkin custard, but it had its own distinctive flavor. - 3/25/09

    I added cinnamon and clove to the batter. I also used currants though if I make this again, I would try cranberries. I didn't find it dry but only baked it for 30 minutes. If you shake the pan and it doesn't jiggle, it's cooked. - 3/29/08

    I eliminated the raisins, added sugar and cinn to custard. I cooked in custard dishes in a hot water bath for about 20-25 min. Creamy and delicious! You would never know this is "diet" food. Yum! - 3/16/07
