I ended up cobbling together elements of different recipes as ingredients I had been expecting to find in the pantry weren’t there. Despite all the fats it isn’t greasy. Just a light, smooth mouthfeel. It’s not quite as sweet as I’d expected, but still pretty sweet. It does crust, and probably should be refrigerated. On my maple cake it tasted like room temperature maple nut ice cream.
