You will never purchase the store-bought again after having this, this is also wonderful without the rum, but better if added, and for a mild rum flavor use only 1 cup you may increase to up to 2 cups - plan ahead this needs a chilling time of 24 hours before serving - *note* this is made using *cooked* eggs
