Suggestion: With all the dairy products in the recipe, it would be helpful to use the same terms from the ingredient list when giving the instructions. For example....in step 1...state "sweetened condensed milk". Also, the crust should be refridgerated after Step 1 is complete. thanks. It would be helpful to state the following in the ingredient list: 1 cup WHIPPED heavy whipping cream (instead of "whipped" at the end)
With summer coming on I always look for a cool refreshing dessert. This pie really hits the spot.
My rather salty grandmother refers to this as “Oh F*** Pie” because that was her response the first time she tried it when I made it for her years ago. It is a family tradition to have it every Christmas. If you want to impress make this pie.
