Recipe(tried): Baker's Square Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme Pie - Not a good copycat recipe

Desserts - Pies and Tarts
I am amazed that this recipe has spread across the Internet. First of all, it is NOT a particularly tasty recipe, and if you make it (as I have) you are bound to be disappointed - especially considering the labor involved with creating what is really three pies in one.

Second, this is not a close copycat of the Baker's Square Carmel Pecan Silk Supreme Pie. Even the layers are incorrect - the original Baker's Square recipe has the layers in this order (from top): Whipped Cream, French Silk, Cream Cheese, then Pecan - while this recipe has the French Silk towards the bottom (under the cream cheese).

Finally, if you look at the separate layers in this recipe, they are not particularly good copies of the best recipes of each type of layer. For example, compare the pecan layer to your best pecan pie recipe and you will notice a big difference. The French Silk layer does not come close to capturing the flavor of my best French Silk pie.

You would do MUCH better by creating a new recipe from scratch using your BEST separate pie recipes and layering them. I would skip this recipe - you will not enjoy it.
