Can I use honey instead of sugar?
Hi Gloria. Yes, you can try to substitute the sugar with honey. But due to the extra moisture, you may need to let it bake just slightly longer. Do check for doneness before adding time.
I made it last night and it was delicious . Thank you , I added fresh blueberries in the mix and once i was ready to serve , i added more fresh blueberries. This dessert is a hit !. My question is , for a larger crowd, would it work to bake in individual ramekins? Looking forward to your thoughts . Thank you
Hi Nadine. I’m sure you can bake them in individual ramekins. You would just have to reduce baking time, and keep an eye on it while it bakes.
