Cindy, I haven’t done it, but I can easily imagine a pie pan working out okay. You’d probably end up with more crust going up the side than you’d need, but a little extra crust never hurt!

Susan – Oh! I can imagine that crust wouldn’t bake up well after having the filling hit it! Glad it worked out in the end, though.

Has anyone done this in something other than a tart pan? Don’t have one, so wondering if another item will work.

Bought heavy cream after all. First time a failure (no, you can’t pour the filling out of a nonbaked crust and then proceed; the crust never firmed up and everything leaked!) Second time was great. The whole-wheat crust was a pleasant tasting surprise too. Thanks for replying.

I use heavy cream. I never even see “light cream” for sale in San Francisco. I would go ahead and try it with the cream and half-and-half, maybe using 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup half-and-half, thus reducing the overall amount of liquid, to make sure it bakes up thick enough. Let me know how it turns out!

Heavy cream? Light cream? Could I use half heavy cream and half half n half (that’s what’s in my fridge). It looks like just the thing to bake for my almond-loving friend

You know, I just made it for Thanksgiving and I forgot to add the whiskey and noticed no difference at all!

Can you leave out the whiskey or substitute it with something else?
