I have prepared this previously and loved it! I returned to find the instructions again because I am making it for a second time this week. Thank you for posting!

Fantastic! A nearby market seems to have copied this version, so I hunted for a familiar-sounding recipe and this one matches the result I got perfectly. Regarding the yield info: it would be helpful if the nutritional data included specific serving sizes, as “per serving” measurements based on volume can be inconsistent. I used a 1/2-cup portion, but weight-based measurements would be more precise.
