    This worked really well. I felt there might have been a touch too much arrowroot in mine as it thickened more than I normally like. 

    I also put sliced lemons and oranges sprinkled with rapadura ontop as it cooked. Looked beautiful and I didnt feel too bad for the tiny dusting of sugar on top. 

    Thanks!
