Is there a way to make this pareve? Also, how many cups of cornflakes is 2 cans?Thanks!
yes that’s 2 cups! not cans so sorry – will fix. And you can make this pareve: In place of 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream use 1 1/2 cups soy milk (you can also use almond milk or do a mix of 1 cup soy or almond milk plus 1/2 cup coconut milk – the idea is to have 1 1/2 cups total of non-dairy “milk”) and just use margarine instead of butter — I like Earth Balance.
Was 2 “cans” a typo? Did you really mean 2 cups?
Oh My! I definitely meant 2 cups NOT cans will fix that! this recipe is AMAZING you are going to love it
