Ah I see... However, it was served hot, mate, not cold. Yes you can eat it cold, but it's not the same, and as you've pointed out, has a different consistency.
You like the taste of caramel and vanilla, don't you? Well, when you broken into the crunchy top, it tasted like caramelly toffee, which melted in your mouth, and the middle just like warm (very slightly set) vanilla cream.
Am I selling it to you, lol? Anyway, it was gorgeous!:)
