I had some trouble with this recipe as it was very liquidy and for the first time, my springform pan sprung a leak and I ended up with a sticky smoking mess in the bottom of my oven.This was about 30 minutes into the baking and it was still very liquidy so I pulled it. We still ate it - was more like a runny pudding but tasted really good! I've been in touch with the chef and she says she always wraps her springform with tinfoil as this recipe is quite runny and does leak. I think my oven would take at least an hour to firm this up, not 40 minutes. Keeping those things in mind - this is definitely worth a revisit.
