Recipe Review

My boys chose this pie for Pi Day 2015. I followed the directions exactly and saw the filling thicken nicely on the stove. It then came off the stove and had butter and alcohol added.

At that point the pie went into the fridge to cool. Sadly the filling never thickened again. It was too thin to even be called pudding. I have no idea what went wrong.

To salvage the pie, I made the whipped cream topping and folded the pudding into it. I then put the whole thing in the freezer. The pie was then eaten as frozen pudding. The taste was good but as a pie it failed.

Maybe Martha's math was wrong - which would be such a pity for pi day!

It should have been enough corn starch and it was thickening on the stove. It was only when I took if off the heat and had to add more alcohol and butter that it thinned out. I didn't have enough experience to know that it wouldn't thicken in the fridge.

I wouldn't have known that, either. But it sounds to me like you really saved the day with the whipped cream, so bravo!
