"You will never purchase the store-bought again after having this, this is also wonderful without the rum, but better if added, and for a mild rum flavor use only 1 cup or you may increase to up to 2 cups. Plan ahead this need chilling for 24 hours before serving, don't even think about low-fat here because this is far from it! This has cooked eggs."
