OMG... this was an absolute hit in our family... was as beautiful hot as it was cold! Will definitely be making this again... and very soon... - 10 Oct 2015
OMG this is divine. Really easy to make and who says you have to wait for it to cool!! We did, only just, manage to get some of it into the fridge. Used light condensed milk and didn't have any lemon essence on hand so put more lemon juice and zest in. Halved the sugar too - worked well. - 09 Jun 2014
This was lovely either cold or warmed up slightly under the grill ... Next time i make it i will do the topping as a normal crumble rather than the same as the base, that would be even yummier ! - 04 Jun 2015
