Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute the book’s “Graham cracker crust” or gingersnap cookies for the “Speculoos crust”mentioned in this recipe.

    This is a really pretty pie! Tho it’s just a biiit to tart for my taste. Pretty easy to make

    Beautiful in appearance, but had a strange, tart-yet-lactic flavor that was not entirely pleasant. Don’t skip the sugared cranberry garnish- it does add a wonderful sweet tart crunch that breaks up the otherwise overbearing smoothness of the pie.

    Delicious. Perfect Thanksgiving dessert. Sophisticated and not too sweet.

    Very tasty combo of flavors - speculoos crust is a must. Did not make cranberries on top and did not miss them.

    So delicious and will be repeated annually for Thanksgiving. Didn't wind up making the whipped cream and was still delicious without it. Easy to make the components over the course of a few days to help with prep and planning.

    Absolutely delicious recipe. I made the speculoos cookie crust as well. To me, it had a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It was worth getting the specialty ingredient (pomegranate molasses).

    Made for Thanksgiving. I love the speculoos crust with this, although I slightly overbaked it. The filling was perfectly set and really flavorful. The only negative was it seemed just a touch too sweet for me.
