Derby Pie - Derby VIP Pack

These original Derby Pies were created over 40 years ago at the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Kentucky. Since then, the Derby Pie has become the quintessential Kentucky dessert. Still made with the same secret recipe it was made with years ago, this decadent Derby pie features a mix of chocolate chips and walnut tart, in a crumbly yummy pie shell. The Kern’s family patented the Derby Pie and are the only ones who make it!! This Derby Pie – Derby VIP Pack also includes a “Dirty Old Horseshoe from Churchill Downs” (yes, you heard right, a horseshoe from Churchill Downs) as a keepsake. It doesn’t get much cooler than that, now does it?

More than half a century after the first Derby Pie was pulled out of the oven, Kern’s Kitchen sells more than 100,000 Derby Pies a year. Leaudra and Walter Kern, along with their son, George, created the Derby Pie in 1954 (the name was pulled out of a hat!). This gooey pie features rich chocolate and walnut chunks and a perfectly flaky crust. Most importantly, the Louisville, Kentucky, bakery is the only one in the country baking them. Each pie is still baked one at a time.
