If you love brownies, you’ll love this single-serving of Derby Pie. Originally created at the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Kentucky, this dessert doesn’t actually have anything to do with the horse race. But once you taste the gooey, nutty, chocolaty goodness of this custard-style pie, you’ll be racing to get more! Nutrition values are representative of one pie.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Chocolate desserts are always a little better when they're warm and a bit gooey. Nice texture from the walnuts. Went perfectly with some good vanilla ice cream!

I'd never heard of this but the walnuts were an excellent kick and the chocolate was rich and amazing.

It didn't taste very chocolatey nor super sweet, which I was hoping for. There was too much crust for how little filling there was. Super disappointed cuz I was super excited to try this

Yummy! Glad they are portion controlled or I would eat a whole pie! Then I would regret it as I'm on a strict diet.

These were crazy delicious and super rich. They looked small but we each got two servings out of them. Yum!

My favorite dessert! It's especially good with whipped cream or ice cream after heating it up in the microwave.

These are always good! I either put vanilla ice cream or a dash of whipped cream on top.

Please be sure to heat this up. Boring if served cold or at room temperature.
