EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of pecans, try making this pie with walnuts.

To quickly soften the cream cheese in the microwave, place the cream cheese in a microwavable bowl and microwave uncovered on Low 1 to 2 minutes or until softened, checking every 30 seconds.

I made this pie for thanksgiving this year. At first, it seemed all the ingredients didn't fit in the pie and overflowed over the edges. I was a little concerned with the outcome, BUT, I must say, it came out perfect and was sooooo delicious, I couldn't believe I made it myself =) Everyone loved it!

This was one of the best desserts I've made. I made it for Thanksgiving and again for a work Christmas potluck. There were rave reviews from everyone! Will definitely keep this in my recipe collection!
