  Did it with walnuts this time: excellent as well. I am also using the iced Bourbon cream on other cakes and pies! Will try with pine nuts next.

  Recipe was pretty easy to make but results weren't fantastic - though not bad either. The recipe makes too much pastry to the amount of filling (and I didn't even use it all) and the taste of the pastry overwhelms the filling somewhat. The filling also could do with being richer, perhaps more treacley. If I made it again I might use dark muscavado as opposed to light.

  Great recipe however I think you need a comment about working with the pastry. I count myself as a pretty experinced cook however I wasn't that confident when working with the pastry. It did work however and was delicious served with the maple and toffee ice cream.

  I may be at fault here for being a numpty and missing something but mine turned out like really sweet nutty quiches! Yuck to say the least. I expected a gooey syrup kind of filling, like sarah said, something richer. Don't know if you're meant to use just egg yolks or the yolk and albumen but this recipe implies the latter and I think using the whole egg might have ruined it. Note to self: always cross reference recipes!!!

  Lovely recipe, thanks! Would recommend that even fan ovens are set to 190c as we set ours to 170c and had to turn it up after 25mins as the filling wasn't setting. 10mins extra on 190c and it was perfect! :o)

  I already have a great pecan pie recipe but after reading this one I decided to add the bourbon which wasn't an ingredient in my usual one and also made the bourbon cream to go with it (although I didn't freeze it and used double the cream to the other ingredients). Went down a treat.

  Agree with Martin. Followed the recipe exactly and ended up with a pecan quiche. I ate it - I would! - but rest of family kind of grossed out. Won't be making again.

  Absolutely dodgy,,,really gross. It was a strange mix or sweet and flafourless. Like the flavours didn't fuse...so gross. I made this 4 times to make sure I got the direction right. Same result everytime.

  I would mark these as a success. I agree with others in that there was too much pastry. I wasn't sure how to work with it, but just followed the recipe exactly and pressed it into the tins. The pastry cooked perfectly though so I have no complaints there. I was really happy with the filling too, though a little messy to deal with. I made the ice cream to serve with it, also very delicious. I'll definitely be making these again and try to perfect them. I'll see how it goes by using less pastry so there is more room for the yummy filling!
