This jicama pie was a nice change of pace from the usual apple or pumpkin pie. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tangy. I would definitely make this again.

This jicama pie was okay, but I've definitely had better. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The jicama pie was good, but I think it could have used a bit more spice. I would add a teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling next time.

This jicama pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jicama pie turned out nothing like the picture. The crust was tough and the filling was runny. Very disappointed.

This recipe was a total fail. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
