I made a half-batch of this, as a basis for a strawberry dessert. Excellent results in almost no time! Not stirring is scary, but it worked.

Great recipe. I could not believe that I didn't have to stir this. I would give it more stars if I could.

This had a good taste. However, it did not thicken. I added bananas and think it may be that with the moisture from bananas I should have lowered milk amount.

Excellent recipe. I added milk, salt, cornstarch, and sugar together in pan. It's the right amount for 2 people but I think you should double the recipe. :)
