I am sure this dessert is the reason my fiance fell in love with me. He asks for it all the time, even for his birthday "cake" even though it's in the dead of summer. Now I've introduced it to his family. They're begging for me to bring it to this year's Thanksgiving gathering, my first time meeting the whole family. Really, this stuff is incredible. If I make any tweaks at all, it is to use the canned pumpkin pie mix with the spices already added, add a few more pecans, MAYBE reduce the butter to 3/4 cup, and usually I need to cover the dish with foil partway through baking so it doesn't burn. It DOES burn very easily, so watch for that. But it's incredible & decadent just the way it's written. Enjoy!
