I baked this in a 1 1/2 quart souffle dish for the 80 mins-it turned out with a nice texture and lightly browned. I thought it would taste creamier with the yogurt and milk, but the predominant flavor was orange. I think I would like this better with less orange, more spices, but my kids really like it the way it is. Thanks for sharing!
