This recipe was delightful. The crust was a lovely smell in the oven, just lightly baked and everyone commented it was shortbread. The filling & topping was just right but it is a great idea to add embellishment to create almond decor on top! The white bar made an appealing table decor compared to other red/green baked goods. I'll do it again!

This was a good recipe,but next time i will half the crust recipe and double the cheesecake filling part,because the "bar" on bottom was too thick and dense and not much cheesecake filling. Also I added vanilla extract as well as the almond and for a garnish, I arranged 4 sliced almond pieces to look like a flower on top. VERY attractive!

I liked the crust on this recipe. I do not really care for the almond extract flavor. Maybe a different flavor would work better.
