Tip

About Macadamia Nuts

The macadamia nut tree originated in Queensland, Australia and was brought to Hawaii in 1882. Today, virtually all of the world's macadamias are grown on the Big Island. It takes about 7 years for a macadamia to bear fruit, making the nut an in-demand delicacy. It takes 300 pounds of pressure per square inch to crack the shell of the macadamia, making it one of the hardest of all nuts to crack open. Because of that, macadamia nuts are mostly sold shelled.

Sweet White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.

Outstanding! I did not have a tart pan, made in a pie pan, it was still loved by the whole family :)

Easy to make, very attractive dessert. The crust was a little too sweet and resulted in a rich desssert. I would decrease sugar in the crust to 1/2 cup. I served it with slightly sweetened whipped cream at a potluck dinner. It was a big hit. Very satisfying dessert. Yum!
