I was surprised about the crust not having sugar or eggs in the recipe, but it's a good combination of flavors. I used a glass baking dish that was a little smaller than the required size and baked it for 30 minutes, increasing the oven temperature to 350°F for the last 10 minutes. I think it would have been better to use a larger baking pan, so that the crust is shorter. It also needed more cream cheese.

It's good. Things to know are: It could use more cream cheese and use a metal not a glass pan, if you want the crust to brown. The texture of the crust is like dust like and by itself tastes a little flowery. It tastes good with everything else. Don't skimp on the size of pan. It's better to have less crust.
