These tassies were a disappointment. The filling was bland and the pastry was dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These tassies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the pastry was flaky and buttery. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
