Notes
Tips and Tricks:
- We love our homemade crust however....you can easily use a store bought graham cracker crust! You could also put this cream filling in a regular pastry baked pie shell too (bake the pie crust first and let it cool).
- If you have extra time, you can toast the pecans first...this just deepens their flavor.
- You could easily drizzel a little chocolate or carmel syrup over the top of this pie if you wanted.
- This pie can easily be made a day in advance.
