Delicious topping. Much better than store bought fudge topping as it gets very gummy when frozen. I went a step further. First I didn't have what I needed for base & I wanted to make a dessert & I wanted to try the cooked topping. I broke up 8 oz. of Oreo cookies & placed in bottom because thats all I had. Walmart carries full 1/2 gal rectangles of ice cream & I sliced & layered over the cookies. To get it to stick to the cookies so it would cut nicely, I put a large piece of plastic wrap over the ice cream layer & pressed down firmly so the cookies were than stuck to the ice cream. I than froze it while making the sauce. Removed the wrap when sauce was cool, poured on the sauce & returned to the cake to freezer. I waited till that froze, than added a 8 oz. layer of whip topping & sprinkled with salted peanuts. It was so delicious. It was the cooked topping that made it so good. I'm giving it 4 stars only because it didn't have a topping. It looked a bit bare to me to serve. I will make it again & will try the original base. I think my preference will be the Oreos, as that is my favorite store bought cookie!

This pie is quite tasty. I give it 4 stars as the recipe doesn't have a lot of directions. I too, prefer to use cornstarch. It's quicker. When using cornstarch you need only bring to a boil & boil gently for 1 full minute. Longer than that, filling will go back to thin. When using flour, after coming to a boil, it really needs a gentle boil for at least 4 min. to make sure there isn't a uncooked taste. Something I do, makes for a smooth filling. I put all ingredients in a blender & blend till smooth, than cook. This way there is absolutely no pieces of cooked egg. I omit the egg tempering stage by putting ingredients in the blender. (which isn't listed)

This is a great all time recipe. Don't let brown as they get too crunchy..but if they do make great dunkers! Either way this is a wonderful timeless recipe! Great if your on a budget.
