I found this recipe while searching for a quick dessert to make using frozen peaches from this summer. I made several changes based on what I had handy: Formed the dough in a pie tin, used 2 c. peaches in the middle, my 4 year old decided to "help" and mash some peaches - so I threw those in the custard, added a bit of almond extract to the custard, I also didn't have whipping cream, so I used milk with cornstarch and flour... and I forgot to bake during the first step... Lesson: This is a totally fool-proof recipe. I did have to bake it for about 40-45 minutes, but it was well worth it. I could barely wait for it to cool at all before cutting into it! Delicious!

This is a great fool-proof recipe! I messed up following the instructions and it still turned out fine. Instead of baking it in two different steps, I put all the ingredients together in the order indicated and put it in the oven. The crust still turned out crusty and everything was great! I also used 2 whole eggs because I didn't know what to do with the egg whites. As another reviewer did, I also used light cream instead of whipping cream. Whew!

Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
