This wasn't quite what I expected, unfortunately. There was so much filling that it seemed like either the pastry part should be doubled or the filling should be halved. I followed the recipe exactly, patting the pastry into 3 x 12 strips and then poured half the filling on each one. The filling started spilling over the sides, but I went ahead and baked them. They ended up spreading to about 6-7 inches wide, but the base only spread a little bit, so it was mostly the filling and hardly any pastry. These were getting pretty dark after about 40 minutes, so I took them out of the oven. They did look really good though, so I had a taste...then realized there is no sugar in the recipe! It definitely needed some type of frosting, so I drizzled with semi-sweet chocolate. This did help and it ended up tasting ok, but I think there may be a problem with the filling to pastry ratio and also the cooking time. This is an interesting recipe...one that I might play around with and try again. Thanks!

This is SOOOOO yummy! I was so afraid since the recipe didn't call for sugar we wouldn't like it. Without the frosting...we didn't. But with the frosting it is heavenly! I LOVE the almond flavor in both the filling and stirred into cream cheese frosting. My 6 year old exclaimed, this deserves 8 million thumbs up. My 3 year old cried for another serving. This family has a MAJOR sweet tooth, and if it sweet enough to satisfy us, it will satisfy ANYONE. Thanks so much Chef PotPie!!!!! Made for ZWT3.
