Poppy Seed Cream Pie

Submitted by nranger7

"I was craving Poppy Seed Torte, but didn't have the ingredients for a crust. However, I did have a frozen pie crust that needed to be used so I threw this together. It appeared to make enough for two pies. (Since I only had one crust, I put the rest of the filling in a bowl and ate it alone. Yum!) I served it right away but found the pie did not keep its shape. I put the rest in the freezer and that works just great to keep it firm. Cooking time is for baking the crust. I'm not sure of the time it takes to firm up in the freezer..."
