For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pecans lightly before grinding. Use a high-quality lemon pie filling for the best taste. Consider making your own lemon curd for a truly exceptional dessert. If using homemade whipped cream, stabilize it with a little gelatin or cornstarch to prevent it from weeping. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for the crust. This dessert is best served cold. It can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
