"An amazing mix of sauerkraut hidden in custard and topped with whipped cream. Don't tell them what their eating until after the pie is gone, and it will be."

This pie is oddly awesome. However, I will make a couple changes next time. I think I'll cut back the milk 1/2 Cup as it nearly spilled over the top of the crust and took about 45 minutes to fully cook. I would also recommend squeezing out as much sauerkraut juice as you can before adding the kraut to the other ingredients. I also have to wonder, this is so much like coconut I wonder if a little coconut extract would fool the picky eaters in my house. I might even try that as well.
