Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Made this for company and were they ever impressed. I added a dab of whipped cream then the fresh raspberries on top and it looked so professional like we were dining out in a fine restaurant. Since there was left overs the next night we invited another couple over and it was as good as the first night. Posted June 29, 2012 by Lynn M. Rating This is easy enough for a novice and tastes like it was made by a pro. I'm too busy to waste time on so-so recipes, but I'm making this one again tonight. It's a keeper! The sauce is worth the extra effort. Posted March 03, 2010 by Mary Rating I would love to bake this for valentines day. I have a question about the ground almonds. Do you measure the nuts before you grind them or after? Hope someone knows the answer. Thanks! Posted February 10, 2010 by Carol Rating Scrumptious!!
