The sweet filling is made from corn syrup, sugar and eggs, similar to how
pecan pie filling is prepared.
Molasses,
sorghum, pure cane syrup or maple syrup are sometimes used in place of corn syrup. Some recipes include heavy cream or cream cheese in the filling, while others may include chocolate, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg or bourbon. The finished pie is served warm and may be topped with whipped cream, a
dessert sauce or served
à la Mode. It can be made as individual mini-pies and frozen. ==See also==
