was a fun sweet treat to try. end result definitely needs syrup, otherwise it tastes sort of bland. some fruit on top would be nice too. halved the recipe and cooked this in my little 6-cup rice cooker that only has a cook / warm function and followed another recipe's cooking instructions for it. this took a little over an hour, and some tricky trial and error playing constantly with cook / warm function to get it bake all the through. cute to make for a guest or a friend.
