Absolutely delicious!! Halved the recipe. I stopped at adding the egg yolk. I also added an additional cup of liquid (water). Didn’t bake it with the meringue topping - as neither of us like meringue very much. Just topped each serving with either apricot jam or honey. Too late for pic! Will definitely make again - thank you, Zurie

I have made this recipe often from a similar recipe that my mother-in-law had. This is my family's favourite dessert, and although it is tradionally a winter dessert, they ask for it any time of the year. I make a dairy-free version at the same time in a different mix by following the same recipe but replacing the milk with rice milk. I bake the 2 mixtures at the same time.

I'm a widow, retired, and I love cooking. I live on the coast in South Africa and I love seafood. You're welcome to my recipes (all kinds, definitely not just seafood!) Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste!
