A friend of mine made this- it made one pie, she used an already made crust. One problem was the cream mixture did not set- she may have overbeat the cream? It had a lovely sweet flavor, the cream complimented the chocolate and strawberries. It was a perfect ending for meal. -
I just made this for the first time. The recipe makes 1 pie. I substituted Cool Whip for the whipping cream and used almost a whole 8 oz container of cool whip. I also used the chocolate almond bark to drizzle on top. Worked beautifully!! Good!!! -
I'm not really sure if this makes 2 pies. My mom's friend always showed up with 2 pies. My mom wrote the recipe down and didn't write down how many the recipe yields, so it may make 1, it may make 2. I'm sorry that I don't know for sure. Sharmin
