Patty’s Pecan Pie From Paula Deen Is The Tempting Treat We All Need Right Now
This sweet finale to your 4th of July celebration is sure to set off sparks of delight
It’s peak season for ripe juicy berries and they give any dessert patriotic flair. And that goes for Patty’s Pecan Pie from Paula Deen, a simply delicious treat from one of Paula’s dearest friends. It’s amazing how a handful of ingredients comes together to make this crustless delight. Perfect for the 4th of July, Paula also likes to swap in walnuts for the pecans and serve it for Thanksgiving. Just prep and bake this decadent finale a day in advance and then top just before serving with whipped cream and whatever delectable toppings you wish! We think it would be just as lovely with this dulce de leche sauce or even a drizzle of store-bought hot fudge.
