I had some trouble with this recipe. I used sweetened condensed milk and a chocolate crust (what I had on hand). I made it in the morning and put it in the refer to 'set'. The next morning it still hadn't set so I checked it again the following morning. Still not set. So I put it in the freezer for several hours and then added the cherries. When I tried to cut it.....it was still soupy. I don't know why I didn't get the results that other reviewers did......but we did eat it. It still tasted great but the consistency was not what was expected. Thanks for sharing, Ellie.

What a treat, Yum Yum! Easy peasy to boot with delicious results. I only noticed that "unsweetened" condensed milk was required after I had already made it. I can't recall ever seeing unsweetened, so my curiosity is up. It came out delicious regardless and we all Loved it. Thanks so much, ellie, for sharing. Made it for Billboard Tag.

So easy to make and really delish. I made this pie for Valentine's Day. Made just as directed except I used "sweetened" condensed milk and while I couldn't find mention of how much lemon juice -- I added a teaspoon full. Thanks for posting this yummy dessert.

Just as I remembered it from many years ago! Delicious frozen too! I used a store-bought graham cracker crust, used sweetened condensed milk because I've never seen unsweetened to buy, and added the juice of one small lemon to cut the sweetness of the filling.
