Made for thanksgiving, everyone loved it! I couldn’t find blood orange juice so i used regular juice m. I also ran out of cornstarch so i used tapioca starch, but the results were still excellent regardless.

Made some modifications (store bought crust, plain orange juice) and for some reason my custard came out on the runny side, but this was delicious nonetheless

Yummy! I didn’t have almond flour, so I used ground almonds and spelt flour and that also worked, love the cardamom flavour and that it’s not too sweet. Such a wonderful treat ♥️
