The flavor was fantastic. I'm not sure there were enough pecans though as the top of the pie turned out an unrecognizable brown. I would have liked to see it firm up better as well.

Made this for Thanksgiving because I did not have access to my original Derby Pie recipe. This was a winner and will now become my traditional Thanksgiving Pie! Delicious. We always make 2 because half like it cold and half like it warm. YUM
