This klappertert is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond milk for the coconut milk in this recipe. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my klappertert didn't turn out very well. The filling was too runny and the crust was too hard.
