Thank you for sharing.

For certainty, does Recipe Time equal cooking time?

Yes, the recipe time is the cook time. It’s about 30 minutes of prep time so 2 hours overall.

It’s good that I found this recipe, just for my wife, I want to surprise her, since we recently purchased a mixer 10 Best Stand Mixer for Bread Dough, Cookies and Beyond, and it will help for me to make a pastry chef’s dream come true :slight_smile: My mother also told me how she manually made a similar recipe, but instead of sugar we took a sweetener and together with cream and milk powdered milk, since it is more convenient to cook with it. This recipe is the best I’ve seen because the ingredients suit my taste preferences. This is the best I’ve ever seen and immediately wanted to eat
