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 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.
