This was very good! It is super rich, so it goes a long way. The servings don't need to be big at all. I will probably make half of the recipe next time. We loved it with coffee.

I actually made this for Christmas. My dad absolutely loved it and since I used full fat everything (it's the holidays, right!) I left all the leftovers with him! Was very rich...just what I was looking for. It had the "heavy" Cheesecake Factory taste!

It was too hard to cut after the caramel hardened. Very messy.
