had to make twice as first one did not thicken. did second time making sure whipping cream was thicker and it still was not thick enough. Are you sure you need to add 1 pint of half half. It seems like 1 cup would be sufficient. I will probably never try again.

Super easy to make. I used a deep die pie crust and it accommodated the filling quite well. Thanks Paula!
