  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

I made this for Memorial day and it was fantastic! I had to make a slight change as I accidently bought half & half instead of heavy whipping cream so I grabbed the cool whip and EVERYONE loved it and it was gone. I will definately add this to my "favorites" list. Plus the cool whip probably saved a few calories for those who are counting!

This was DELICIOUS!!! I will defnitely make this again! If you like your whipped cream a touch sweeter, I added more sugar to the whipped cream part. I took it up to 1/4 - 1/2 c and felt that was good for me and it still was a nice balance with the other flavors. Great recipe!

Custard takes a REALLY long time to make. Everyone seemed to like the dessert enough to ask for it again, I'm just not sure I want to take the time to make it again.

It was super rich - we could serve a lot of people with it, since the pieces could be small.

I served this for my Memorial Day party. I received comments from presentation alone. It is very good and even though it has such rich ingredients it isn't a 'heavy' dessert. My only comments for making is that it is somewhat time consuming. And because of the amount of milk make sure you use a very large pot; larger than three quarts. Once mine started bubbling I had to quickly pour it into a larger pot. But I sent recipes home and I will make again!

Get real I promise this will not make you have stroke, heart attack, or duabetes, for having a small amout. You need to learn to share. What will give you all the above is no exercise. Talk to Dr. Oz he will agree.

I made this recipe for friends...and everyone loved it. I made 2 smaller pans so i could take one in for work. It is smooth creamy and delicious, but not too sweet nor difficult to make! I will definately make this again.

Agree with those who are not grading down because they are ingredient police. I read the ingredients and was convinced I would try. I almost questioned trying because of the rating. The low rating actually prompted me to read the reviews to see what was really wrong with this recipe (but even before Iread reviews I was planning on trying anyway based on my ability to zone in on good recipes). Was glad to see all of the responses because that is why I was going to try the recipe; because it DID have the real whipped cream, etc. If I was on a diet I would refrain from eating this, but it definitely would be what I would like to serve company!!!

I totally concur with domaidl. I have written on this before. I would never think of rating a recipe I haven't tried nor ever intend to try because there is something I don't like about it. Just move on to something of interest. Comments are acceptable to offer your opinion, if you must, but not a rating.

I have not made this yet but I will be and I will rate it then. I just wanted to say that if you don't like it because of the unhealthfulness of it, it is not right to rate it low. If you must say something then say it but don't rate it. Also if you haven't tried it, it isn't right to give it a rating either.

I made this yesterday using chunky peanut butter because I had a new unopeded jar. It is delicious and my family loves it!!! BTW, some of you have a problem with the calorie and sweetness count and gave it a low rating without making it - what are you doing looking up these recipes??? Go find low-cal recipes at Weight Watchers if you know you can't eat in moderation!
