Pie for Derby Day

I can't believe it has been over a month since I last posted.  Life has been busy as I have been preparing for my oldest dd's graduation, finishing up school for the year, driving lessons etc.

I have lived in Kentucky for 5 years now and celebrated Derby Day longer than that.  For our Derby party I was looking for a dessert that would fit in with my style of eating.  I discovered "Derby Pie".  I couldn't believe I had never been aware of it's existence before now.  It sounded yummy, so I found a recipe on the internet and adapted it to make THM diet friendly.  It was a hit, even my family who was not on plan enjoyed it.  My SIL did say it needed to be a bit sweeter so I adjusted the recipe.  Here is my version:

Ingredients 

•   1 cup pecan pieces
•   1/2 cup THM Baking Blend 
•   1 cup chocolate chips
•   1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
•   1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
•   2 eggs (beaten)
•   1/4 - 1/3 cup Pyure Stevia Blend (sweeten to taste)

Instructions

1. Mix baking blend and sweetener. .Add eggs, then butter.Add nuts, chocolate chips and vanilla extract.Mix thoroughly.
2. Pour mixture into a greased pie pan.
3. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 - 45 minutes.Test with tooth pick; pie should be chewy but not runny --Bake longer, if necessary.
