Comments
The worst. Someone may have had a poor translation from another language going on here. It took more than 3 hours to cook, blend, chill, and freeze the various stages before it was even ready to finally chill. Believe it or not, I don't have 4 hours in my day on ANY DAY to prepare a single pie.
