Dont know what you would call this, but

ok val, whats the deal. have you been dieting since thanksgiving and christmas? and just come out of the closet.

my mom had a receipe similar to yours for pudding. she used to put dates and figs and chopped nuts in in hers though, but she used most of the ingredients you do.

i don't know where she got the receipe or when, i know it's not german or yiddish. but i know it was downright delicious.
