This is awesome!!! It didn't take too long to make and it tastes like that pie at Trader Joe's!! I accidently put all three of my adobo peppers into my batter so I just added another one to my sour cream mix. It was spicy and good!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

It was pretty good. I loved the spiciness a lot! It did take forever to make, though, and for the outcome, I'm not sure it was worth the effort. But it was yummy anyway and if I'm feeling ambitious, I will make it again! Thanks for sharing!
