Thank you for singing the praises of this recipe— I can confirm the flavor is delightful. I made this for Thanksgiving and the texture was akin to mousse, though not quite as smooth. Any idea where I went wrong???

hmmm meaning it was stiffer than pudding? not sure what you mean by mousse (since i think of mousse as light and fluffy, which would be very hard to achieve here, though not unpleasant!)

Ooo yes stiffer than pudding. It was more airy > silky. Congealed a bit more than I expected. Does that make sense?

yes-- could have been more cooked in the pot to begin with? also, i recommend whisking the set pudding before serving which will usually always return it to silky glory.

Great tips. I think I had it on the stove too long pre- and post- egg yolk mixture, and I did not rewhip before serving. Will give it another go!

I had a similar thing happen, a little grainy too in my case, though not overly unpleasant. Will have to try again. I think I may have cooked for a little too long :)
