Absolutely loved it! Didn't have the ancho chili but I always have ground red chili powder (locally grown), so I used that. My family requested it for Thanksgiving. It was a big hit with everyone!

This pie is a winner, I would make it again, I didn't have coffee liqueur or the chili pepper and it was still delicious, very rich (used coffee in the place of the liqueur

Has anyone made this pie and substituted for the ancho chili pepper? I can't see ordering it online.
