In reply to Anna. Hi Anna, I don't have a vegan alternative to this, but do have lots of delicious vegan desserts on the site!

In reply to Laurel. Hi Laurel, once the eggs reach 160°F, proceed with the recipe after the eggs have cooled by setting the pan or bowl in a bowl of ice water and stir until cool.

In reply to Kate. Ok, having read your instructions on how to pasteurize eggs, could I then heat the eggs and yolks to 160F using 1/2c of the heavy cream (for the whole eggs) and 1/4c of the sugar (for the yolks)? From there, once they hit 160F, could I then continue in the saucepan, using a whisk and melting the chocolate chips and then adding the rest of the ingredients?

Hi. Thanks for your recipes. This recipe is very easy and quick. However I made this according to directions and found the result to actually be too dense. It did not look creamy like yours. Is there some way to make it more pudding like?

I love this recipe and want to make it for some guests – but one of them is vegan. I don’t suppose you have a vegan alternative for this (appreciate this may be unlikely)?

In reply to Nancy. Hi Nancy, I think you really need the blender to achieve this texture.

HI! I don’t have a blender Do you think I could use the whisk attachment with my Kitchenade mixer?

In reply to Amy Berenson. Hi Amy, they won't fully set if you used half and half, as it doesn't have a high enough fat content.

I think I need some help . . . I mistakenly bought half and half instead of heavy cream. My pots are runny instead of more solid! And they have been in the fridge for almost 4 hours. Can I freeze them for a bit? Or should I simply start over?

I made a little extra one for me to try and it is delish!
