Not a review...I have a question. I Hate almond paste, do not like the taste at all. What can be used in its place and where can the substitution be purchased. Almonds, sliced, slivered or whole are fine, just never even use almond extract. Thanks in advance.

This was a yummy treat! I had never used almond paste before and it sure made the delicious difference. I will gladly be making this for company! :)

I'm an awful cook but this recipe was so easy to follow that my finished product looks just like the sample picture! My only suggestion is to serve this with coffe/tea/ice cream because it is not super moist, but still tasty.

This is still warm, I had to try a piece. Its good, I added a touch more raspberry to it. And I added the almond slices when there was 10 mins left of baking. Worked out great. I'll see how well it tastes tomorrow. Most things taste even better the day after.

This was the prettiest and most romantic dessert! I made it for Valentines Day and my hubby and I LOVED it. It was very easy and looked like it took a long time to make, but it was super easy. I did watch the video that was recommended here on how to "pleat" the edges but I probably could have figured it out anyway. I used the almond paste in a tube as this is the first time I have made anything with it. I just used my regular hand mixer and it worked fine. I dont even like raspberries but the chocolate, almond,raspberry combo was delicious. I am added it to my favorite desserts.

This is the best! Made this for Super Bowl and it was fantastic. Can't wait to have a dinner party and this will definitely be the dessert!
