Note

Be careful when removing from the oven, as the cheese and sauce will be extremely hot.

If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.

This dish is best served immediately after baking for the best texture.

You can substitute the rum extract with orange extract for a non-alcoholic version with a citrusy note.
