User Reviews:

I have done this pie many years ago and have since lost the recipe. I had fun making it and my friends just loved the pie. I used thinly sliced strawberries to decorate the base of the pie bringing out the beauty of the pie that no one wanted to eat at first...they just wanted to look at it. I'm so glad to have found thia particular recipe once again.
