WinnieAb, I see you had made a comment about this not setting? Any tweaks I should know about? Will probably try this out for Sunday brunch this week and don't want a disaster...lol Thanks.

OK, so if the St. Germain liqueur is "optional" - what liquid might you use, instead? Surely not just omit it and not substitute something? Or is that OK?
I'm a huge fan of custard of any kind so, I would be anxious to receive a reply to my email, as I will probably try this recipe. But what of the reader who tried it, and it didn't set right? What happpened, do you think?

Folks- I made this again 2 days ago and it did not set at all. Not sure why, but I am going back to the drawing board with this recipe...

What size baking dish or pan would that "suitable size" be??

The total volume of ingredients is approx. 3.5 cups. Custard usually puffs up a bit, so you'd want something that could hold about 1.5 quarts. I'd think a 9" pie plate or similar sized casserole dish would work.

Yes- an 8 or 9 inch pie pan would be perfect. See my note above, though- I made this again recently and the custard didn't set properly...so I need to retest and see why not.

Maraschino liqueur is another amazing companion to raspberries - and strawberries too.

Boy, how did I miss this?? Everybody is into this elderflower liqueur. Time to try this for certain next dinner party in 2 weeks.

Should or could this be served chilled or brought to room temperature, Winnie? So much easier at a dinner party...

Liz- it still tastes yummy at room temp and chilled, but it's not all that attractive :)

How did I miss this one? St Germain and champagne is my favorite summer cocktail, so I'll definitely make this lovely recipe.

Wow. This looks incredibly delicious. St. Germain is such a wonderful flavor, I bet it's great with raspberries!

Thanks and I have not seen raw coconut crystals...where do you get those? I'm sure any granulated sweetener will work just fine :)

I've seen some of their other products, and have tried the liquid sweetener. Haven't seen the crystals but will look for them!

Lovely combination of flavors...all favorites of mine. Like using palm sugar, have you used the raw coconut crystals much? Do you think they would work here too?
