This is really good! The recipe was included with a coupon book from Food City and I gave it a try. Even my father, who doesn't like anything new or "different" liked it! ;D

Ohh those sound like the best of both worlds-pumpkin pie and pecan pie!

I will have to give those a try since pumpkin & pecan pies are my two favorites.

Thanks for sharing, I love trying new recipes.

Oh, great! I hope you like it.

I used Cool Whip for the whipped cream and put it on right before serving it. Cool Whip makes anything taste good
