I found this recipe years ago in a Sunday coupon section. It is a family favorite now. It's fairly easy to make. I replace the pie crust with a no-bake one. Like a graham cracker crust. This cuts off a little bit of time and it tastes fantastic with the graham cracker crust. My husband asks for this pie for his birthday and holidays
