This tastes FABULOUS. Keep in mind you need to stir the first 4 ingredients together before adding the milk to avoid curdling. As with any recipe of this type, you should stire constantly as you cook.

I just made the filling and it tastes wonderful - now i'm waiting for it to set up.

I just made this pie for the second time in a week!
Can it be frozen for a few days before or after putting on the whipped cream?

So good! I just made this for the third time in two months. Make sure that you wait the whole four hours to set. (But don't worry, it will still be yummy!)

First time I tried this. I was surprised how easy this was to make without baking and tasted great. Top of my list for dessert.
