  • Reviews

  • “This dessert was really good!I used strawberry preserves and baked it a little longer than specified to make sure the filling was set.We ate it warm from the oven and really enjoyed!Made in honor of Chef CoolMonday 11/07.”

  • “Love that almond and raspberry flavor, and so easy to make! Filling was softer and more eggy-tasting than the Bakewell tarts I recall. Liked it and will try again with one egg fewer. Thanks for posting this hard-to-find recipe.”
