German Pecan Pie image

Lynn's German pecan pie recipe is lighter than the typical pecan pie. It's sweet and a little salty with a nice crispness. Topped off with a cool, creamy topping and dark chocolate shavings is just delicious. Super easy to make, this is a great recipe if you need to bring a holiday dessert but you're not the best baker.
