Grandma says: “It’s real good hot, wonderful cold and you can even eat it frozen—then it’s like a popsicle!”

Note: All that’s happening in the oven is the browning of the meringue. So be sure and keep cooking the custard in the pan until it’s your desired consistency.

pretty good. Okay, you’re just going to have to trust me on this….
I hate to be bossy, but sometimes you just have to yield to fussiness for really good results.
Once you’ve finished assembling all the layers, you then cover the whole thing with a thin layer of icing.
This is called the “crumb layer”.
Put it in the fridge for about an hour to harden up.
This means that when you do the final layer, there will be no crumbs ruining the finished result.
Much as I hate to admit it……it actually does make a difference.
