This was a slightly difficult recipe, especiall with the picture shown....thetaste was great, tasted just like a rich custard pie. I used Battle in Seattle's sour cream pie crust, and that even kept crisp, but the filling itself turned out kind of watery and separated. I not only dried the shredded zucchini, but let it sit over a colander under pressure to squeeze the excess water out. And the picture looks like it has a crumb topping, but I didn't see anything on here...I tried to do one, but since the filling was watery it just sank in (though I added it 3/4 through the baking time). So, taste gets five stars, but the method needs some extra details. Thanks! -
My fiance and I found this recipe to be absolutely delicious. I read the comments and was slightly wary, as half loved it and half hated it. I did also find that it was liquidy, but not to a point that we didn't like it. I also tried making it with two smaller pie crusts, but splitting the batter between the two crusts. This seemed to work wonders and neither of the two smaller pies were liquidy at all! I also suggest placing a cookie sheet under the pies while they are baking as my first pie bubbled over a little while baking. -
I don't know what happened, but this recipe turned out to be a complete disaster for me. First off, the ingredients didn't fit in the blender (and I don't think my blender is a small one) so I had to do the mixing in turn. But worse, for some reason the pie just did not bake correctly. I had to bake it till the crust scorched (it is like cardboard) and the inside is still runny. I've re-read the recipe several times to try to figure out what I did wrong and can't tell that I did anything incorrectly. My husband will eat anything, so I guess it won't go to waste, but this one is definitely not something I'd make again. -
This dish turned out a bit too watery. The flavor was strongly "zucchini", and it was not at all tasteful. Maybe that's just my opinion, though. :) -
Delicious & easy to make. A bit sweet. Next time I'll add a little less sugar.
