EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Prepare this dessert ahead, but do not cut or garnish it. Cover it tightly and refrigerate it for up to a day. Store the nut topping at room temperature in a resealable food storage plastic bag or in a tightly covered container.

Use the back of a spoon to swirl the filling, or make grooves in it with fork tines.

For buffets, cut this dessert into smaller pieces so it's easy for guests to sample.

I made this for our thanks giving dinner and it was a BIG hit! Everyone loved it and asked me to make it again. I left it whole, didn't cut into squares and decorated it by drawing lines with a fork on the frosting and then put the candied nuts in a geometric design. I made it the night before and it stayed really good - I put the nuts the day of the dinner. Really yummy and simple!
