🥧 What Is Walnut Cream Pie?
Think of Walnut Cream Pie as a cousin to pecan pie — but with a creamy, custard-like filling instead of a syrupy base. The flavor of walnuts adds a more robust, slightly bitter edge, which balances beautifully with the sweet, creamy filling. The result is a pie that’s both luxurious and comforting, with a rich texture and bold, nutty flavor.
