Comments
really delicous and easy!
I used left over sticky date pudding sauce from the EDC and mixed this with extra cream and the eggs and worked perfectly.
Thank you.
Very nice pastry but too much filling & balance of filling not perfect- too much walnuts, nit enough caramel & prob a more salted caramel would be better. Maybe pecans would be a better choice?
This tart is delicious. Even better the next day. I agree with the previous comment, I had way more filling than I needed. I stretched the pastry to fill 1 x 24cm tart tin and 3 x mini tart tins, I filled all of these and still had leftover filling. Great tasting recipe though, I'll definitely make this again.
Beautiful, delicious tart - lovely pastry and not overly sweet. My only problem was that I found the pastry was just right for a 24cm flan but I way too much filling for the flan! I ended up making 4 extra 10cm round tarts. Also I substituted half the walnuts with almonds just because it was what I had. It was still very good.
Fills 2 bought flans one take too long to cook so is hard on top and a bit soft inside. Improves in taste the next day. Must serve warm with double cream so buy a big one.
Made this for my baby shower. It was delicious and will definetly make it again. Thanks Manu
I have never made a tart before. But wow what a hit! Easy to follow and tasted great. I used gluten free flour and it worked fine.
Are you able to freeze this?
Can you freeze this?
