This rich dessert is my own creation, and I'm very proud of it. It's easy enough to make for every day but special enough to serve guests or take to a potluck. —Kathy Specht, Clinton, Montana

I did not make this but it sounds so good. I to will not let foil touch my food. I will use parchment paper. I also grew up with foil and my mom used aluminum pots and pans. They have found aluminum pockets in the brain of people that died of Alzheimers.

my lord I grew up using foil, good god a lot of us did and I don't think that aluminum foil has anything to do with the living or the dying in a significant amont.

And where in the world did you hear that about foil? I went looking and found this. Although it is talking about BBQ'ing. "Use aluminum foil. Make tiny holes in a piece of foil and place it on the grill underneath your meat. The holes let the fat drip down, and the foil reduces the amount of smoke the billows back up. Wrapping the meat completely with perforated foil is an even better idea." Just unreal the "things" that come up that are supposedly unhealthy!

I can't wait to try this recipe, it looks so good and yes you can substitute dried beans, or cooking marbels instead of foil to bake the pastry with, I agree, I would never use foil as it is a carcinogen.
