This pie had a great flavor, but I had serious problems with adding the milk.
I followed the recipe to a T, no less, no more was added. I have made several pies like this in the past and thought it was unusual to be adding milk. I thought it would end up runny. I made the pie for my church dinner after service. I had frozen it overnight as called for, and the pie had sat out for maybe 2 hours. I understand that the pie would have thawed out, but with experience with pies in the past, it should have kept its consistency somewhat. However, it ended up being like melted peanut butter ice cream pie. It went everywhere! I KNEW not to add milk, but I went against my own judgement.
If you are going to keep in refrigerated and take it out RIGHT BEFORE serving it would be okay, but do not let it lose it's coldness or you will have pie filling everywhere! With that said,it is still a great tasting pie, but my previous peanut butter pie recipe did not call for milk,and it held together well even after sitting for a little while.
So my advice would be, if you are going to take this to a reunion or get together where it will have to sit out for an hour or so, DO NOT add milk! :)
