Come Here For Pie

[monarch64]

A consolidated thread for all your pie needs.

 

[aljdewey]

Yep.........as the original PS pie server, I will tell you this thread makes me incredibly happy.

May we all find a way to come together in our common love of pie!

 

[monarch64]

HA! I've been thinking about you, AlJ! You are a wise woman to have stood back from the burning building here.

Monnie - you've been very much on my mind too - we need to catch up, girl!

I want to deeply thank you for the trip down memory lane to a time when PS held so much importance to me. Your post made me actually good for (and find!) the thread that spawned the pie tradition on PS - https://www.pricescope.com/forum/ro...ss-vs-the-near-colorless-topic-t42520-60.html

FWIW - lemon pie is still really the best (and yeah, even over key lime, which is my second fave!)

 

[YadaYadaYada]

There is an Italian bakery half an hour from us that makes a chocolate lemon pie, I'm telling you it is amazing, by far my fave.

I hesitated posting because I wasn't sure if this was about pie or.......PIE. Always have to be on my toes with you Monarch

Chocolate chess pie is the devil. It's chewy and gooey and ridiculously easy to make. Lord help my thunder thighs.

Oh- I love reading through the older threads! Thanks for that! Gonna go pop some popcorn and read...

Ummm....I'm not often a pie person. So how 'bout some kittens?



I guess if you laid out pies of all sorts and I had to pick....it'd probably be pecan with lots of whip cream....I can't help it I'm from the South....

That OG thread is hilarious, thanks for posting the link. A walk down memory lane, indeed.

Chocolate/lemon? Hmmmmmm. I don't know about that. Guess I'll have to try it someday!

Coconut cream and cherry are my faves but I'm all about the crust. Love a flaky crust with a nice thick rim of brown crust embracing the filling.

I've never heard of this but must look it up immediately. I am obsessed with chocolate.

That's a Southern thing if I'm not mistaken. Kinda like Derby Pie is a thing in Louisville. I think.

I have a bag of Key limes in my fridge and a ready made graham cracker crust. I may be makin' some pie tonight!

Did someone say pie?

Technically not sure the second photo I am sharing qualifies as pie but hey it's close enough right? I mean it is part pumpkin pie so it should count despite the cake in the title...my dh's famous pumpkin cheesecake. It's delicious I promise and if anyone is in the NYC area and lets me know in advance I am sure he would be happy to bake it for us! :


I'll add the traditional key lime pie just for you Monnie. Always so refreshing and good.


And I sure hope this pie is OK. Who can resist a delicious Pizza Pie from Brooklyn? I mean pizza doesn't get any better than this and our waiters who serve them aren't bad either!

Umm Elliot, I never heard of chocolate chess pie but OMG suddenly I am craving some right this minute. Off to look it up.

Matata, I agree a good crust is key!

 

[monarch64]

Uhhhh, I'm starving.

Yum, Pie!!

 

[AprilBaby]

It's been a really long time since we had pie! It's about time!

 

[dk168]

Tucking into a McD apple pie as I type, and I could do with a slice of warm pecan pie with lashing of cream or plenty of ice-cream.

I know this pie. There was a time when I was making one or two per week because the recipe is way too easy to master. I finally had to forbid myself from making it for fear that the sweet men in my house would come down with type two diabetes!

I'm going to try very hard to pretend that I didn't see this. Chess pie really is the devil... and it will not be invoked!!!

 

[missy]

OMG AprilBaby, I want that pie...looks like it goes perfectly with my coffee right now. Oooooh if only I could reach through the computer screen...

Coffee and pie the perfect AM combination!

And here is my morning contribution. Goes perfectly with black coffee.

I was looking at adding a chocolate peanut butter pie last night, but you found a much better photo of one than I did!!

Recipe for a similar pie.
http://www.kevinandamanda.com/peanut-butter-pie/

You guys. This Peanut Butter Pie is OUT of this world. It is SO decadently dreamy. I’m in love!! This is hands down one of the easiest, most impressive desserts I’ve ever made. There’s only six simple ingredients and it’s No-Bake! Plus chocolate and peanut butter is always a winner. The BEST part about this perfect Peanut Butter Pie is that there’s no cream cheese and no Cool Whip!

The peanut butter layer is creamy, dreamy, and super peanut buttery. Make this for someone in your life who loves chocolate and peanut butter, and they will be yours forever!!

This pie is great for company because you can make it the night before, let it sit overnight in the fridge, and it’s still just as good the next day. It’s perfect for when you’re having guests over or taking a dish to someone’s house because then you’re not busy in the kitchen all day or making a mess! Just pull it out of the fridge and serve.

All you need are 6 simple ingredients — Oreos, butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and heavy whipping cream.

First we’re going to start by making the extra thick Oreo crust. Finely crush an entire package of whole Oreos in a food processor or blender. Don’t scrape out the middle! You could also do this in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin.

Pour the crumbs into the bottom of a pie pan and firmly press into the bottom and sides. I used this 10-inch by 2-inch deep dish tart pan from Amazon so the pie would be easier to cut and remove from the pan, but you can definitely use any old pie plate.

You can even make it in an 8×8″ baking dish, making it easier to cut into squares and serve at a party. If you’re making it in an 8×8 dish, I would line the pan with foil (so it will come out easier) and press the crumbs only into a bottom layer.

I used a glass to make pressing the crust into the bottom and sides of the pie plate easier. Once you’re done with the crust, pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 stick (8 tablespoons) softened butter to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the crust into a smooth layer and place back in freezer.

Now, if you just want a perfect peanut butter pie, you could stop right here. This pie would be AMAZING. But if you want to send it over the top with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache layer, here’s what you do.

Place 1 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate) and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a large glass (or heat proof) bowl. In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer.

Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour until ready to serve. (You could also freeze it for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.)

Sweet, buttery Oreo crust. Creamy peanut butter. Decadent chocolate. It’s like the dessert trifecta.





Ingredients:

1 (14.3 oz) package whole Oreos (about 36 Oreos)
1 cup (16 tablespoons) butter, divided
1 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, divided
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:

Finely crush the Oreos with a food processor, blender, or in a Ziploc bag. Stir crumbs together with 8 tablespoons melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Freeze crust for 10 minutes until set.
Add the remaining 8 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the crust into a smooth layer. Place back in freezer.
Place chocolate chips and remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a large glass or heat-proof bowl. In a saucepan, bring heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer over medium-high heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hours until ready to serve.
