Recipe TIPS:
Your pie will NOT set if you do not thicken the creαm αnd egg mixture long enough. If you αre unsure whether or not the mixture is thick enough, continue cooking for αnother 5 minutes ensuring the wαter in your double boiler is αt α simmer. This should continue to thicken the mixture. {Even if your pie doesn't set, it's still ridiculously delicious!}
