Thanks Chookie, would be lovely as a dessert with some custard as it is fairly dense. Unfortunately it then stops being vegan - will look forward to having it with custard when off the study.  :D
DH had it with custard and is very happy.   :)

It looks nice Mich.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

You could make a custard using almond, soy or coconut milk if you wanted vegan.

I will make this today & Quirky Cooking coconut caramel custard there is a vegan version use cornflour in place of eggs

Thanks NM. I have a recipe for custard using egg replacer but I would rather take my chances with a free range egg than egg replacer any day.
Will look up Quirky Jo's site - Flax seed or chia seed with water can be used instead of eggs too.
