Crustless in custard cups very nice!
Very subtle flavors so use a mild molasses like Brer Rabbit, cheaper brands get harsh. Aromatic and smooth.

Super disappointing
I was so excited to make this for Thanksgiving this year but it’s never set. I followed the recipe exactly and after 4 hours it still wasn’t set. Super disappointing.

soupy mess
This recipe is missing something. I followed it to a "T" and it came out soupy and never set up after being in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Very dissapointed.
