Tip

This pie is best served with vanilla ice cream!

It is tasty both hot and cold, however it seems to be a bit runny when it is straight out of the oven (as per picture).

When it cools it sets firmly and is just as delicious!

  • Very rich recipe. Tastes nice

    Very rich recipe. Tastes nice but you need to have small portions.

    the pastry came out a bit dry when rolled, but still tasted nice once cooked. 

    My pie was still runny even after leaving it sit for one hour.
