Made this... never set - I am an experienced baker.. and the custard never set... even after 24 hours.

Vanilla Slice - Liked the recipe , simmered till I thought mixture was fairly thick. Allowed to set overnight, however custard still not very thick . How long should you simmer for when starts to thicken ?

Wonderful memories - I really enjoyed making this recipe. I took notes from other reviews but didn’t have an issue with the custard splitting. Maybe because I’m an experienced cook? My advise is to just keep an eye on it. Don’t let it get to a rapid boil. Watch the video and you’ll see. Anyway. I’ll make this again. Very delicious. Thank you.

I’m with Jess……mine split too - Worked perfectly, and looked spot on, but boiling for 2 minutes caused it to split! I too used/wasted a vanilla bean. Will try again at some point without boiling it.

Total fail - It all went fine until the last part of step 2 - boil for 2 minutes. The thickened mixture then separated and I ended up with a mixture of separated oil and gooey egg. I think I should have stopped before the mixture separated but the recipe called for boil for 2 minutes. Unfortunately this didn't work for me and I wasted time on this, even wasted a vanilla pod. Disappointing.
