Some pie lovers call this Amish milk pie. Since the Icon never follows a pie recipe properly, we’ll call this the Icon One-Fourth Amish Half-and-Half Milk Pie.
That’s primarily because we cut out lots of the sugar. You’ll notice one-fourth in lots of places in the list of ingredients – thus the renamed pie. We'll get to the half-and-half shortly.
In fact, we cut out one complete cup of sugar and this pie was devoured in the same amount of time as any previous pie from the Icon’s oven. So, who needs all that sugar?
