Comments
This is a very popular dessert in Mexico. I learned to make this dish when I was a missionary there for several years. You can make this even easier if you have a pressure cooker. Put the covered casserole dish in the pressure cooker (adjust the size of your casserole dish to allow some space between the dish and the sides of the cooker). Add water as above. Process according to pressure cooker directions for 10 minutes. Let pressure drop of it's own accord. Remove and cool as above.
