Description
Another of my grandmother's recipes. We would eat this plain, as creme brulée, with fresh fruit, or used it as a filler for cake. I have translated this from a spanish recipe, so bear with me if the wording is strange. I am guesstimating on the time as i have not made this myself in 10 years–my grandma always made it for me!
