I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart didn't set properly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of custard tarts, but this one changed my mind. The filling was light and airy, and the pastry was perfectly crisp.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, and my tart turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I added a bit of cinnamon to the filling.
