I was browsing thru recipzaar and was prompted to join the site when I saw this posting. I saw this recipe at the CL website and was intrigued so I tried it...big surprise because CL almost never lets me down but it was a BIG disappointment...the combination of the bananas and custard was lovely...and the almonds on top was fine except for that flour in the topping...gave a weird raw flour flavour and hard to describe texture. You could get a better end result by just using toasted almonds on their own. MHO..someone else might have better results
