Tastes way too much like rice pudding.... feels like a waste of my maple syrup. Not really impressed. Tastes way too much like rice pudding…. feels like a waste of my maple syrup.

Amazing! But the tart fell as it cooled. I assume that might have something to do with eggs and their stabilization of the filling... Any ideas? I tried this last night. Amazing!

I wonder how this holds up to it...

I was hoping for a more pronounced nutmeg flavor as well. I used the great unshrinkable tart crust, and that has a fair bit of sugar in it, so next time I might use pie crust and up the ground nutmeg a bit.

I used Grade B maple syrup, which I think made it turn out a little darker. The taste was good (clearly got the nutmeg and maple flavors) but too sweet for my preferences. Not sure exactly how to adjust for that without messing up the consistency, but might try using a bit less maple syrup and replacing with a tad more cream (?).

I am not vegan, so I tried using a combination of ener-g egg replacer and gelatin in place of the eggs. I also used MimicCreme instead of the cream. Taste was off and texture was weird. Now that I am using dairy again I might give it another shot with real cream and see what happen, but maple syrup is soooo expensive!

I am definitely making this a Thanksgiving favorite. Next time I make it, I'm going to attempt serving it with whipped cream infused with St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram. I had to special order it from the liquor store, but I think it will be worth the effort.
