Guadalupe Pie

If you want a cool dessert for the warm days of spring and summer this is what you want to make. It is so easy but so tasty and easy to make. I got this recipe from my mother in law. The original recipe has a pecan shortbread type crust but my husband is anti nuts in anything other than a candy bar or by themselves so I make this with a graham cracker crust. I will put the recipe for the pecan crust but know that you can make it either way and it is still tasty.

Crust:

1 cup flour

1 cup chopped pecans

Second layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
