Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat all ingredients except Half & Half into a smooth paste in a large bowl with hand-held mixer. Pour into baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes until center is firm. Cool 10 minutes, cut into squares, pour half and half over it until covered. Refrigerate overnight or at least a few hours. Use more Half and Half when serving to make it moister if you want.
