Kerns Kitchen Pie's Review

The dessert for after our Fathers Day, dinner tonight is going to be amazing. And!, it will be my family and I, first time eating either type of the dessert sent byKern's Kitchen.

Kern's Kitchen is located in Louisville, KY. The history of the company is amazing and I will share that with you first.

Kern's Kitchen's handcrafted, starting over 60 years ago, Kern's Derby-Pie chocolate nut pie is a real and genuinely tasty Kentucky custom. Leaudra and Walter Kern, together with their son, created the very first Derby-Pie dessert at the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Kentucky, in 1954, and still to this day Kern 's Kitchen makes every pie, one at a time, according to that world famous secret recipe. Premium chocolate and choice walnuts are folded into an indulgent filling and then baked in a delicate crust. The name "Derby Pie" was originally drawn from the hat. With such a unique pie, the name was registered with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office as well as the Kentucky commonwealth.

Kern's Kitchen was gracious with their famous pies, sending their one pound famous chocolate nut pie, and a one pound pecan pie, and two small chocolate nut pies.  

These, famous pies, have been featured on, The Today Show, Food Network, The Travel Channel, and so many more places!

The pies are easy to make, just take them out of the box and warm in a 350 degree oven for around 8 to 12 minutes. I did mine at 10 minutes and they came out perfectly.

It's amazing how the Kern's Kitchen still to this day, makes their pies. Still hand cracking their own eggs for every pie they make, and sorting threw their own walnuts, and better yet making their own hand crafted dough. To date, this is a 4th generational family owned business, that makes their pies with the same love and same secret recipe since 1954. You just know with all that love and care, these pies are going to taste amazing.

First up is the Kern's Kitchen famous chocolate nut pie, and before I go on I must tell you, my house smells amazing. Even full belly's are looking forward to tasting these treasures.

Now the pies come fully baked, all you have to do is warm them up. They can be served with a dollop of ice cream on the top, but we all want to taste the true chocolate nut pie with out masking it with any other food. And can I tell you, it was the right choice. You can just thaw the pie and serve it, but I think you will enjoy it warmed up. The chocolate for the pie is a decadent mixture of chocolate chips, and in each bite you get your chopped walnuts. The crust is buttery and not flaky at all, truly holds the pie when cutting it, instead of falling apart like so many other's do. Every bite you take it just melts in your mouth. Now the pie serves eight, but be careful, you could eat this whole one pound pie by yourself, if your not careful! What makes this pie even more unique, they have some how imprinted their name on the crust. Well, you won't forget who made the pie for sure. Kern's Kitchen truly makes a wonderful pie, you taste the time, the love, and the quality.

I didn't let anyone get to filled on the first pie, we all had one more to taste. This time it was Kern's Kitchen golden pecan pie. Now as far as pies, this is our first time trying either type. So far, so good! This is also a Kern's Kitchen one pound pie, made the same way, with the same famous secret recipe. Again the name of the company is imprinted onto the crust, it gives the crust a elegant look. Just like the walnuts for the chocolate nut pie, Kern's Kitchen sorts threw their own pecans, to make the golden pecan pie. After warming it for up with the other pie for ten minutes, it’s the perfect warmth. Its easy to cut, because the crust holds the pie firmly not letting it fall apart. The pecans are whole  and are plentiful on the top for sure. The bottom mixture of the pie is a syrupy goodness that the pecans rest upon. The texture of the bottom filling is smooth, and rich. And in every bite the combo of the pecans and filling are so decadent. The pecans are very fresh, as if they we're picked that day. After you eat both these pies you can see why they are a Southern royalty, and tradition. The pecans even after warming in the oven hold their crunch.

The pecan pie, and the chocolate nut pie, will play a symphony in your mouth. And they we're the perfect ending for after Fathers Day dinner.

If you love a good pie, then visit Kern's Kitchen, on their website, as well as Amazon.

They will compliment any dessert for any occasion.

Also, thank you to Kern's Kitchen for my calendar!
