For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk. To prevent curdling, ensure the milk is at room temperature before adding it to the other ingredients. Baking in a water bath ensures even cooking and prevents the dessert from cracking. For individual servings, bake in ramekins for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until set.
