The title explains it all-the mixture of cooked and uncooked berries cause a taste sensation in your mouth-the textures of the uncooked berries popping as you bite into them releases sheer pleasure. This pie has a custard layer and a fruit layer-it is decadent! This is my most requested recipe. Be sure and use WHOLE milk. It makes a difference. Also be sure and follow steps-NOTE: butter, cornstarch, berries, and sugar are added in increments-follow directions. prep and cooking time is mostly refrigeration time.
