Sorry it didn't quite work but yes, I think it's safe to say it's the milk - both heat and the acidity of the milk impact the liklihood of milk curdling, and raw milk is much more prone to curdling, especially if it is a few days old. It's great for some things, but not necessarily the best for this.
]]>Well, idk how I managed it but I set out to make this recipe and as the milk was warming (on low!) with the lemon pork etc. it started to form curdles of mozzarella. I used some raw milk that had been in the fridge for a week (smelled great) - but I’m guessing that’s what created the issue. And maybe the lemon peel in combination.
]]>So you can certainly make the base custard ahead of time the day before. With the sugar topping, it will keep in the fridge for a bit but I haven't tested exactly how long it will stay crisp before the sugar starts to soften up.
]]>A shame you didn't get to try it "from the source" but it's delicious made at home as well so hope you'll give it a try. Small world to have the Cambridge connection! Afraid no, we haven't been there that long but I know the area well - it's one that has changed a lot even in the time we have been there.
]]>We were in Barcelona a few years ago, but never got to try this. I love simple recipes with few ingredients and this is perfect. Will give it a try soon.
By the way, I used to work in Kendall Square (across from the Marriott). My family ran a Thai restaurant in One Kendall Sq some 20 years ago now. Were you in Cambridge then?

]]>Yes you can - this recipe is for a relatively small quantity, but you can increase to serve more and do it in one dish as well. Just be aware it will take slightly longer to thicken with a larger quantity.
]]>Thank you, it's definitely a favorite!
]]>Thanks, it's a really delicious dessert. I could have been a little more brave in my crystalizing but it was still lovely and crisp!
]]>I do love both of them as well, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try.
]]>Thanks the orange is very subtle but adds a nice gentle freshness.
]]>Thanks, yes it does have a bit of a summery feel but would really be great any time.
