Introduction

This pie is far from low-fat or low-cal, but is delicious! It's a family recipe from Thanksgivings as a kid. I remember doing it by hand (before electric mixers) with a whisk. Much easier these days! With this recipe, a little bit goes a long way - it is a very rich dessert! This pie is far from low-fat or low-cal, but is delicious! It's a family recipe from Thanksgivings as a kid.
