The Elegant Cook

An elegant dish at luncheon, tea, or for cocktails, this is the traditional Cornish Pasty:

Ground almonds and coconut cream are mixed with egg-whites, vanilla and sweetener for a high-protein, low-carb tea cake that is also a perfect end to a ladies' elegant  luncheon.

I used a tart pan with removable sides and a small metal hors d'oeuvres cutting blade for the strips of dough that decorate the open top of this tarte. See M-J's Elegant Apple Pie recipe on the Dessert page for dough and filling.~~M-J
