I made it the in the morning, and by the time we ate it for dinner, it had flattened to 1cm high!! It looked quite bizarre, but it still tasted lemony and had a lovely texture and lots of “oohyum” from everyone. I admit to guessing the size of the baking dish (live in Australia - have no idea what a quart is. Did it in a 9x13 dish). I suspect it was a bit big, but it still looked good when it came out the oven. But really - it looked sooo flat by the time we ate it, I refused to serve it from the dish at the table, but rather spooned it onto the plates beforehand. What do you think I did wrong? I’d love to make it again.
yes, use a much smaller dish. Th one you see in the photo is about 7 by 11 inches- and you can go even smaller and it will be deeper. Thanks for the feedback- I will add dimensions to the dish.
So - it was deeeelicious…but….

Could this be prepared a day in advance or does that defeat the purpose of this quick dessert?
You certainly can! I love it chilled, and it warms up nicely if you prefer warm.
