PECAN LAYER

Recipe from the Wil mar Neighborhood Center Madison, WI Combine until smooth and pour into prepared crust.

Pecan layer: Mix all but pecans until opaque. Add pecans and spread over filling. Bake at 325 until filling is set about 1½ hours. Watch crust edge so it doesn't burn. You may want to cover it with foil if it starts to get to dark. The cookbook said this was a Cajun dessert.
