    It is very rich and a little too sweet but I would make it again. Maybe a little less sugar. I would like to try half vanilla and half almond.

    My husband is Dutch and just LOVED this recipe. Very rich, very easy! Up in Canada most Dutch stores sell these for up to $7.00 each. This is a VERY good alternative and easy on the budget also.
