I loved this recipe! My husband loved them too. I made mini tarts instead of pie. The recipe makes 24 mini tarts. Bake the shells for half the recommended time before filling them. Bake at 400F for 18 min. I also used cane sugar instead of refined sugar. Easy and fast to make and very good.

It was really good. I had to let it cook a few more minutes. Because I wasn't sure if the center was firm. I had some problems to peel my kiwis (I'M not used to lol) I love the taste of the orange flower water in it. It's delicious. It's not too sweet. I used Splenda instead of sugar.
