Notes

The #1 reason these turn out soggy isn't the recipe, it's pulling them too early. Don't judge doneness by color alone: give the pan a gentle shake at the 25-minute mark. If the center jiggles like liquid, it needs more time. If it jiggles slightly but moves as one solid piece, it's done, it'll firm up completely once chilled for an hour.
