I was the only one who thought so, but this turned out almost unbearably sweet. I wouldn't have been able to have more than one slice. I added in a large amount of blueberries and strawberries, which fortunately turned it delicious. As the recipe says, however, it was ridiculously rich for me - perhaps it was just the whipped topping I used. If you're not adding fruit, I suggest using non-fat whipped topping and 150% or 200% the original amount of cream cheese. Then taste to see if you need to add the sugar. (I would assume you'd need to after adding the extra cream cheese.) The pie wasn't a disaster by any means, but I think it could use a few adjustments to make it outstanding.

Quite good - Had its own unique flavor without detracting too much from the natural deliciousness of pears. Best yet, it was easy. It seems there could be something of a debate going on around her as to whether or not the extracts were the right amount. :] I personally found that the extracts were a bit much, and plan to try a little bit less of the almond/lemon next time without taking them out altogether. My topping also was a little too squishy, I think, and there wasn't enough of it, but with some extra flour this was no problem. I also think some cinnamon might go nicely in it and will include it next time. Overall a good pie - Will definitely make again. Thanks!
