• NOTE: I have found my small hand-held mixer works better for this than my stronger tabletop model.
• If you use a tabletop mixer, be careful you don't overmix.
• This pie should be thick, dense and creamy, and overbeating the eggs will give it a more mousse-like texture.
• It's by no means bad that way, but it is much better when the consistency is thick.
