Bake 40 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean.  Cool on wire rack.  If desired, serve with whipped cream am macadamia nuts.    8 servings

TIP:  Although macadamia nuts make this pie extra special and extra rich, you can make an equally exotic version with roasted UNSALTED cashews or pistachios.
