I meant in place of the sunflower seed flour.

Yes exactly as you stated.

You could swap with almond flour.

No, I didn’t sub out anything. The stevia was missing because it wasn’t in the recipe but other than that I followed the recipe exactly and they were refrigerated. I will have to try the sesame flour in something else, normally I love the flavor of sesame. Im pretty sure it was the sunflower seeds.

I’ve very sorry they were crumbly for you. Packing and pressing down that crust into the pan really makes a difference. I too wish I could use almond flour but with nut allergies in my family it’s a no go. We didn’t notice a problem with the sunflower seeds overpowering the dessert with the raspberry filling being more prominent. I’m just trying to figure out why yours would be so crumbly. Did you refrigerate them before serving? Mine were set well after refrigeration. I even froze many of them then thawed them for a church women’s meeting and everyone loved them.Maybe it was not the sunflower seeds you tasted but the sesame flour you didn’t like which is a cups worth. Did you also use Swerve sweetener in the crust or something else? I apologize for this not working out for you on Thanksgiving, I know how disappointing that can be. Any slightest subs to recipes can really change the texture of them.

I just watched the video and noticed that vanilla stevia was added but it is not listed in the written recipe that I followed.

Yes you can replace the sunflower with almond.

I haven’t tried that combination, but I think you could.
