This is a pie that has captured the imagination of many people and has been adopted by some Amish as a family favorite on Christmas Day. You know, food traditions among the Amish are very individualized. If I had all the time and money in the world I'd love to do a "Christmas Day" recipe survey....I'd go door to door in Amish communities and ask people what is on their menu. My guess is that I'd have to knock on 200 doors before I found someone fixing this, but when I did it would be magic in a crust. I don't think it is a very common pie among the Amish, but it is a favorite among some.
This is , by the way, a no-bake pie. So make, eat, and enjoy! Also, keep in mind there are egg whites in this recipe that are uncooked as part of the pie’s structure. If that concerns you, then don’t make the pie or leave them out. Almost all the recipes I could find online for similar recipes have the same ingredient.
