3-Pack - Derby-Pie®Chocolate Nut Pie from Kern’s Kitchen
Couldn't load pickup availability
A True Kentucky favorite. Derby Pie® has been a southern tradition for more than 40 years. Made from a secret family recipe, Derby-Pie® combines rich semi sweet chocolate with English walnuts for a truly decadent experience.
The Derby-Pie® was created in 1950 by the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Kentucky as a specialty pastry. The restaurant’s owners and Derby-Pie® creators were Walter and Leaudra Kern, who constantly researched the optimal recipe for their creation. They were assisted by their son George Kern. The name “Derby-Pie®” was chosen because the various family members each had a different name for the creation, so to resolve the naming quandary they put the various names in a hat, and pulled out the paper which said “Derby-Pie®”.
Today, the 4th generation continues creating the world famous Derby-Pie®. Slowly and carefully using only the finest ingredients and focusing on quality before quantity. Kern’s offers the Derby-Pie® in two sizes, 9″ pie and a smaller tart version, suitable for a single serving. In addition, they recently introduced the first new addition in almost 50 years, the Golden Pecan Pie, with all the Southern you could ever ask for.
The Derby-Pie® is fully cooked, ready to warm and serve, or freeze for later use, (we suggest warming slightly as indicated on the box and maybe, just maybe, adding a dollop of whipped cream with a touch of good Kentucky bourbon…but that’s up to you). Serves 8 to 10.
Price includes gingham or seasonal bow ribbon and gift card with you message.
Net weight: 1lb 4oz fully cooked ready to warm and serve. Serves 8-10.
If shipping to a warm area, consider adding a “Warm Weather Ice Packing” in order to preserve the quality of perishables like chocolates.
Our shipping schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, using UPS Ground Service as our primary shipping method. We strive to ship orders the same day. Orders placed after 2 pm EST may ship the following day.
While we aim to ship all orders the same day, items like chocolates, pies, and cakes require extra care. During the hot summer months (June-September, sometimes October) we avoid shipping these perishable items on Fridays, and occasionally on Thursdays.This varies based on temperatures and distance.
This precaution ensures that these delicate items do not sit in hot UPS vans or warehouses over the weekend, when shipments are not actively moving. Any orders we hold for this reason will be shipped the following Monday, unless it's a holiday.
