Very soft and fluffy. Easy to eat with braces! I put the pears in first then poured the custard on top. They came out very soft and full of flavour. * Update I have made this twice since I got the recipe, It is VERY GOOD .We had friends over for a slice, they ended up taking the rest of the tart home with them they liked it so much : )

WOW! =) This is so good and so easy to make. Looks really pretty too! Tart's have always been my favorite dessert and I never knew they could be so easy to make. Thank you so much for this recipe. I can't wait to try it with other fruit.

What a Fantastic Torte! It was absolutely beautiful and the flavor was wonderful. I did not use canned pears, I used 4 large Bosc pears (Peeled, cored and sliced)The only problem that I had was that there didn't seem to be enough crust to cover an 11 in tart pan so I made another half batch which was perfect. Thanks so much for the recipe, I will be making this for dessert on Thanksgiving

I have been cooking and baking for over 40 years. This was, without a doubt, one of THE most impressive desserts I've ever prepared. I'll be making another one, for a holiday brunch, this weekend. The comment about increasing the crust was most helpful! So was the syggestion to use the fresh pears. I can't wait to impress my friends with THIS scrumptuous beauty, this Sunday!
