you're not the first to say that :rotfl:"I have learnt that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one""You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”Maya Angelou0 -
I can't help but if it tastes good (and it looks like it would taste great) you could change it's name - sweet milk tart with caramel sauce - and pretend it's supposed to be like that - who would know?! If you used a spoon to swirl flicky bits of the liquid around the plate it would look all cheffy as well!0

Did it need longer and slower cooking to firm up?
i made two as there was so much mixture! the first was in the oven for 10mins at 200. the second one was in for about 15mins at 170"I have learnt that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one""You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”Maya Angelou0 -
Well I have to admit I have no idea what gypsy tart is but it didn't stop me putting in my tuppence worth...lol
I know when I made an egg custard once I had a similar problem when I made the next I turned down the oven and cooked it slowly and it was set perfectly.

did you leave it to cool completely before cutting it? I've made a few gypsy tarts in my time and realised that, when I was a bit too eager to try my creation, it did this. When I had a bit more self-restraint (rare!) and had left it to cool right off, it seemed ok."Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510

seems a bit better than the first? perhaps leaving it that little bit longer to set helped?"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510
