EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Whipping cream whips more quickly and gives more volume if both the cream and equipment are cold. Place the bowl and beaters in the freezer 15 minutes before using. Leave the whipping cream in the refrigerator until ready to whip.

Pie baking can be even easier when you use Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts. Find them in the freezer case with a precrimped edge, ready to use. The disposable pan makes clean up a snap.

Extremely disappointed in this recipe; which I followed to the exact requirements. I event used a rotating fan to help cool it down more quickly. When cut into, it ran like a faucet. Anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong? Why it did not harden for proper serving?

Absolutely the best pecan pie recipe I have ever had--being a chocoholic...of course it is the best EVER! I increased the chocolate chips to 3/4 cup but it would be amazing with just the 1/2 cup. This is a definite keeper!
