Notes
Bake: Make sure to bake just until it sets. Baking time might vary based on the type of oven and its settings.
Flaxegg: Let the mixture sit for at least 5 – 8 minutes at room temperature to get a thick and gelatinous texture. Use warm water to speed up the process.
Baking Dish: I used 9 x 6 inch rectangle baking dish that was ideal for the quantity I prepared.
Sweetness: As black forest fruits tend to be slightly tart, you may need to adjust sweetner to suit your taste.
