This tastes like the real thing, without heating up your kitchen. I toasted the pecans first and used a Graham cracker crust! I did it in my cooking class and it was A BIG HIT!!! Thanks for sharing. Koechin/Chef

This wasn’t my favorite. It didn't have the gooey consistency in the filling.

I made this for Thanksgiving last week, my first ever attempt to make a pecan pie. It came out incredibly, for such a small amount of butter its ever so creamy and delicious. Was impressed on how short a time it is to make. We used some candied pecans to top the pie that we had made earlier that had some cayenne pepper on them, that hint with the pecan flavor was a perfect match. Used a Graham cracker crust too. I love this recipe :)
