"I made this rich delight today for Thanksgiving. The only problem is you are supposed to chill the crust flat in the fridge overnight. This makes it too firm to form into the pan. What you should do is form the crust to the pan, then chill it overnight. The crust taste like Scottish shortbread. Mmmmmm."
