Pecan Pie Trifle

I’m always looking for inventive ways to use leftovers or just a new way of serving up a traditional dish.  This fits the bill perfectly!  If you find yourself with a leftover pie from Thanksgiving (I know, not very likely) you can make this delightful little trifle to spice up this plain ‘ol pecan pie.  You may even want to save this little beauty of a recipe and serve this for Thanksgiving as a nice little variation on pecan pie.  Everyone is sure to love it!
