"This light egg custard recipe comes from a missionary friend who lives in Mexico. It's very typical of the Southwest...and very delicious!"

I am SO bummed! I read the reviews & followed the directions (in a large pyrex) and made it for 24 people! It never got firm. I put in the fridge over night and put back in the oven 3 times ... STILL not solid. Suggestions? I would really like to save it if possible.

This is a great recipe! I have found though that if you use 3/4 evaporated milk and 1/4 milk or 2% milk instead of all evaporated milk, you get a more interesting texture. Dense but also with a slippery, lighter texture also. And I usually just coat the bottom of the casserole lightly with Karo Dark Corn Syrup which is foolproof and gives a caramely sauce at the bottom.

This recipe came out beautifully, however cooking it in a single dish instead of 8 individual serving cups, the cooking time increased to 1.5 hours. Served with sliced strawberries & whipped cream. Very nice.

This is now one of my favorite desserts. It deserves 5 stars for how easy it was to make, not just for the delicious flavor and great presentation! I made this for a Cinco de Mayo party and everyone seemed to enjoy it. as far as prep goes, I oooked it in one big bowl (not tiny small flan bowls but instead a big salad bowl with a flat bottom, not rounded) and then the next day after refrigerating it I inverted it ontop of a dinner plate. viola! It was so beautiful!!! I topped it with extra brown sugar and decorated it with plenty of strawberries. So yummy and sooooo deceivingly easy!
