Note
For individual servings, pour filling into custard cups and microwave uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes until set.
Ensure your pie dish is microwave-safe before cooking. If using a glass pie plate, check for any metal trim which is not microwave safe.
This recipe yields a soft, custard-like texture due to microwave cooking. For a firmer slice, allow the pie to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
