I am reviewing the pie filling only-as I used my own crust. Texture is a little grainy, pie looks custardly. The citrus flavors really shine in the pie. I also loved the chocolate chip pieces went to the bottom of the pie.

I tried this recipe for our Easter dinner. It was a very long process of preparation but the kitchen smelled wonderful with the pie in the oven! Unfortunately, I gave this recipe only 3 stars due to the fact that there were so many different flavors going on, from the chocolate chips to the orange/lemon peel, it was a little overwhelming. I think I will make this again, but the next time I will skip the chocolate chips...don't get me wrong, I'm a chocoholic, but they just didn't do much for this dessert. The crust is by far the best I've had and was easier to make than the one I currently have in my recipe box. Both my 100% Italian Mother-in-Law and Grandmother-in-Law loved the crust, but they too recommended no chocolate chips. Thanks for letting me in on this Italian heritage secret!
