Chef's notes

The original recipe is made in a heart-shaped tin, but if you don’t have one, I would suggest using an 8 or 9 inch (20 or 23 cms) round tin or a 7 or 8 inch (18 or 20cm) square one. It just depends on how tall you want it. I used a 7 inch (18cm) round one which was too small so had to bin some of the mixture. Line with Bake-O-Glide if you like, then no need to grease.

The chocolate I used was that with the highest percentage of cocoa solids I could get.

The cuajada can be obtained from R Garcia & Sons in London.
