cashew on the sweet side pie

If you’ve ever been to The Butcher, an eatery in New Orleans, you’ve seen this sweet little pie staring you right in the face when you check out. When I first saw that thing, I knew I was going to eat it. Then when I ate it, I knew I had to learn how to make it. Not necessarily because I like things with nuts, because I’m actually allergic (not deathly- obviously!). However, my daddy likes all things nuts and I knew he’d love it too! So sure enough, I made it, he loved it.
The original one at Butcher is made with peanuts. So you can switch it around how you’d like it. I used cashews just because! I love cashews.
It is a sweet little pie, so be ready!
