Many a tale has been told about the origins of this legendary dessert - so once and for all we'd like to set the record straight.
DERBY-PIE®, as it has come to be known, was born nearly a half century ago as the specialty pastry of the Melrose Inn, at Prospect, Kentucky. George Kern, manager of the restaurant, developed the Derby-Pie® recipe with the help of his parents, Walter and Leaudra.
Many hours were spent trying to find the unique blend of flavors that make up this classic dessert. And that blend remains a secret to this very day. Oh, most folks recognize the real chocolate chips and walnut pieces - but no one has ever been able to duplicate our special filling and delicate crust.
Once developed, a proper name had to be given. Because each family member had a favorite, the name DERBY-PIE® was actually pulled from a hat.
And what a winner! By 1968 DERBY-PIE® had become so successful that the name was registered with the U.S. Patent Office and the Commonwealth of Kentucky (that's the reason for the ®!). Since then it has been baked and distributed solely by Kern's Kitchen, a small family operation.
The Kern grandchildren take the same pride in preparing DERBY-PIE® products today that their grandparents did over four decades ago. Only the highest quality ingredients are used and each pie is carefully filled by hand.
Try the way Leaudra always served it - warm from the oven and topped with real whipped cream
