User Reviews:

This is pretty good. I made a non-dairy (pareve) version of this, substituting 1 cup of Rich Whip for the can of sweetened condensed milk. I also used a graham-cracker crust. It came out pretty well. But, if you use too much milk, it comes out too liquidy, so you need to be careful. If it is too liquidy, you can freeze it, but if you do that, you will need to partially defrost it before serving...
