  I have made this lovely simple pudding many time now, and it never fails. A light sweet comforting bite after a large meal.

  We love this recipe, but we cut down the sugar to 75g, which brings the taste of vanilla to the forefront.

  These are really easy to make & so delicious! I made them the night before a dinner party & they kept in the fridge beautifully - took them out an hour before serving. I used a vanilla pod instead of extract. Found that they took longer than 20 mins to cook though.

  I made for the first time last week and i did what it said, i baked it for 20 then chilled it over night and it still hadn't set. so i baked it again for over 20minutes so it should have been baked for over 40 minutes nor 20 minutes. My Super-Nan and Super-Grand like it but it wasn't anything special, there was just nothing to it and i couldn't finish it.

  The photo looks like there's nutmeg on it or is that just me?

  I made this last night and ate it today. It was absaloutly scrumptious! Went down a treat with my friend too and will definitely make it again. I also added a sprinkle of chocolate powder and grated chocolate. Perfect low calorie dessert! . . . I had to leave it in the oven for an extra 5 minutes than was required though. Thanks for the recipe.

  Made this for the first time today and it was a delicious treat, although I was convinced it wasn't going to work at first. I used skimmed milk to make it - although it was quite runny, it did (eventually) set. Another tip is to use large eggs rather than medium since this will help it to set a bit more. Did anyone else find it took much longer than 20 minutes? I found it took about 40, and they still looked nothing like the picture! I made them into a type of creme brulee - I chilled them for a good long time after cooking, sprinkled them with caster sugar, placed them under the grill until the sugar was caramelised and then chilled them again before serving. Has anyone tried baking these in pastry cases? I though they might make a good baked custard tart...?

  Not sure what I did wrong here. Even after 40 minutes cooking and cooling all day they weren't fully set, not just soft but actually runny in places.

  This was a little strange for me. I halved the recipe as I only wanted 2. It took closer to 40 mins to get anything like just set in the oven. It did chill down ok and was set enough, the texture was creamy but I really would have liked it more if it was warm, it just felt abit funny so cold. I made a small brandy snap to go with it, to give the desert a little crunch I don't think I would have liked it at all without. Not sure I would make it again.

  Horrible. They looked great but they took at least an hour in the oven and a few more in the fridge to set. When they were finally done, I tried one and it was disgusting :/ Not gonna do this one again.

  Fab recipe, not sure why some previous negative comments, cooked perfectly in about 25 mins, just like picture. Extremely easy to make and delicious for a light desert after dinner. Was a hit with the family so I'm sure ill be making this on a regular basis.
