Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and next 3 ingredients. Gently pour into prepared crust. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until almost set.

Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Dollop or spread over pie. Rate it Print
