This was a major flop. Not sure what went wrong because I followed the recipe to the letter, but the filling never set up. It was tasty, and I'm sure you could have served it in dessert cups with whipped cream in a pinch.

I made a couple of these pies to follow a lasagna dinner at church. They were light and tasty... perfect after the "heavy" lasagna. Not to mention EASY!
