Delicious! I used this recipe for the custard and substituted 1/2 C full fat yogurt for sour cream. For the crust, I used a recipe that @Kopykats the crust that “Houston’s” restaurant used. I substituted 1/2 C packed brown suger, added pecans (or macadamia nuts), sea salt, cinnamon. It came out delicious and the tip of no sugar in the whipped cream (just Vanilla)worked well as the pie and crust were sweet enough!

Having eaten this a lot we tend to detect the presence of pecans in the crust. If we wanted to add them how would you recommend we do so?
Stephanie
I would add about 1/4 cup of pecans, and add an additional 2 teaspoons of melted butter to the crust.
