When Al and I were at our first BBQ judging event we heard that the previous night, at the "anything butt" contest, a cheesecake with a pecan pie inside was submitted! Al was bound and determined from then on that we needed to make one ourselves. So, after finding this
recipe online and talking it up for a couple of weeks, Al finally convinced me to make it. Saturday morning I happened to wake up early and by 8am I had 3 homemade pie crusts in the freezer and a pecan pie cooking in the oven! On Sunday I made the candied pecans and the cheesecake (with the pie inside).
Then Monday we eagerly came home, hurried to eat dinner and then dove into this heavenly dessert!
Al's mom was waiting on the phone while I took pictures and cut into it, she was so impatient waiting to live vicariously through us while we took the first bites and reported how heavenly it was!
And if you were one of the 8 lucky ones that we work with and got a piece to try--yeah for you!
