I decided to take the plunge and be the first to go ahead and make this dessert. My husband and I do low carb and high fiber foods mostly so this is right down our alley. i like that this recipe incorporates some ingredients that I enjoy in my low carb desserts, the almond flour the cream cheese, and chocolate for example. The recipe is very good, the cream cheese filling portion solidifies very nicely and the almond crust stays attached to the filling so when you slice you get a perfect square that does not fall apart and is pleasant to serve. I would serve this with some whip cream as an elegant and satisfying low carb dessert. I definitely will make this again as it calls for my basic pantry ingredients and is the perfect sweet bite.
