I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this torte was surprisingly good. The flavors are well-balanced and the texture is smooth and creamy.

This torte is very rich, so a small slice goes a long way. But it's so good, it's hard to resist going back for more!

The crust was a little soggy, but the filling was delicious. I'll try again with a different crust recipe.
