Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Chocolate truffles

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    So much is wrong with this recipe. Too much crust for 9” pan—even too much for 10”. Filling has way more cornstarch than necessary, so much so that the lovely vanilla bean custard becomes cornstarch flavored. Like the idea, but recipe is very flawed. The accompanying chocolate sauce is made with chocolate chips and turns out slightly gritty, likely bc of the stabilizers and emulsifiers in the chips. Would not recommend. Other recipes in this book are great, but this one is a fail.
