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.

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!

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.

I have never tried this before, but I am loving all the flavors and the creaminess of this dessert. The crystallized top looks perfect!
