Ok, back to these recipes. For clarification, I am referring to the very last 2 dessert recipes in the Fall SB. The cashew recipe was a big hit at the event I took them to. The other recipe, the coconut one in my opinion was not fit for taking to anything, lol. However, my husband tried them and said they are fine. I say fine if you can get one out of the pan that looks like the picture in the book and doesn't fall apart in your hand. Anyway, my advice, follow the directions exactly and be patient.

I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe. Sometimes recipes can seem tedious, but I assure you that the extra steps are worth it for the delicious end result. As for pouring the batter over the hot crust, it can be a bit tricky. I find that using a spatula or spoon to gently spread the batter over the crust works best. You can also try letting the crust cool for a few minutes before pouring the batter over it. I hope these tips help and that you give the recipe another try. Happy cooking!
