Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Do not use a pan that is less than 2 1/4 inches deep.
  • tip 2
    Almond paste is a mixture of blanched ground almonds, sugar, liquid and sometimes almond extract. It is available in cans or tubes near the baking ingredients.
  • tip 3
    If you own an insulated carrying case for a 13x9-inch baking dish, you can use the carrying case to take this chilled dessert to a family potluck.
