Chocolate frosting is a classic combo, but feel free to swap in your dad's favorite — say, vanilla buttercream or penuche.

We place a big order at Murdick’s Fudge: chocolate, chocolate walnut, peanut butter, and penuche.

Pour the custard over the penuche filling in the pie, then top with whipped cream and toasted nuts, if desired.

And I've baked cookies, too, and whipped up a batch of penuche.

It is important to assemble this pie only just before serving; the penuche will soften once the custard layer is added.
