It came out great! I made it twice, the second time I substituted cardamom with a mixture of equal amounts of Nutmeg and Cinnamon. It tasted just as good!

This recipe is perfect as it is, I wouldnt change anything in it. I put 1tsp ground cardamom as I didnt had whole on hand. With nuts on top it's delicious

Very tasty, but the preparation caused me a fair amount of distress because the mixture started to stick and burn at the bottom of the saucepan, leaving unpleasant chunks of stuff in the pudding...
