I have had this recipe taped to my refrigerator for the past two years which I received at a gourmet pot luck party I attended. I do not know who made this so cannot thank that person nor attribute to him … It is a remarkable dessert, you only need a tiny portion to be satisfied since it is so full of taste and fragrance!

Ready

• 2 cups milk

Set
