Tried this dessert tonight - it was a disaster!!! Can I ask a dumb question - do the egg whites have to be beaten first?? and does the baking tray require water for the fondants to "steam"??? Very disappointed with the result, they looked so delicious when Donna cooked them on her program.

Would love to try this receipe but my only concern is the almond meal. I have a friend who has a nut allergy, what other ingredient could I use?

  I didn't have any almond flour, so made it with ground quick oats (just shove them into an electric coffee grinder for a few minutes, or you can buy interesting flours at any health food store). It gave it a nice toasty taste and lovely crumbly texture.

mine didn't work, somehow the almond meal did not dissolve, so the cake was very grainy!!
