The Kentucky Derby is this weekend. I am not a horse racing fan, but I love a good excuse to party! This Chocolate Cheesecake Pecan Pie is my take on Derby Pie. Derby Pie is basically a pecan pie with chocolate chips. My version uses chocolate cream cheese in place of the chocolate chips. The pie was absolutely delicious. It combined two of my favorite desserts - cheescake and pecan pie. This didn't last long in our house. We will be serving this pie along side some Kentucky Hot Brown Bites and a Mint Julep for the big race on Saturday!
