"An old boyfriend made this for me for my birthday one time. It makes plenty, so invite your friends. Very rich! For the crust I now use my No Fail Pie Crust published elsewhere here; pre-made pie crusts from the refrigerator case at the grocery store can also be used. Cinnamon and/or cayenne to taste may be added for further flavor, if desired."
