Notes

Some people asked if you need to bake or freeze it… No, is the answer. It is an old-fashioned pudding. It thickens as you cook it. Cornstarch is a perfect gluten-free option.

*If making a deep dish pie you may want to double the recipe to fill it to the top. But, use your own discretion and experiment!
