Followed the recipe as is using dark brown sugar and fresh milk. Yummy! So sweet! My mom used to make this ( I only eat) minus the crushed ice coz we usually refrigerate it. Only difficulty for me, since now that I'm the one making it was whether it was plantains or not (yes it is!).Thanks for a wonderful easy after all recipe, Elmotoo! -
These are very yummy! I topped them two different ways, one with fat free half and half, and the other with low fat vanilla ice cream. Both made excellent toppings!
