“Very delicious and very easy. All of my kids ate this up including my 18 month old who has become extremely picky these days. This was so good that my 3 year old asked me to make it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and then breakfast again.” — a cook, 5★
“Heavy Cream cannot be substituted with lighter cream in this recipe. Lighter cream can curdle from the lemon juice. But you can try melting some spreadable cream cheese to get a creamy consistency instead.” — a cook
