Chocolate Mint- Make chocolate pie as
usual. Stuff small peppermint patties in around the outer rim of the pie (at
least enough for each of 8 pie slices). Cut 2 peppermint patties each into 4
pieces and place them on top where each of 8 pie slices would be when it gets
cut. This was the most popular pie this year and was the first to be gone!
Everyone requested this be made again next year. I should probably make 6 to
have enough!
Pumpkin Spice- Add a little more spice
than recipe calls for, include ground cloves and ginger. This is usually the
most popular, however, this year it got beat by the Chocolate Mint pie. I
usually make 6 of these to have enough (Each family has to have one of their own
to take home!)
Pina' Colada- I made this using the
banana recipe, instead I used Coconut Cream pudding and lined the pie shell with
well drained pineapple. I also spread well drained pineapple and shredded
coconut on top. This was a hit this year as well.
Butterscotch Apple- Add a box of
butterscotch pudding (cook, not instant), omitting the spice, or use half the
spice or less, and bake as directed by your apple pie recipe.
Dutch Caramel Apple- Use half the spice
and add chewy caramel candies. Bake as directed by your apple pie recipe.
Strawberry- Half the strawberries were
fresh while the other half were thawed from frozen. I used the juice from
the frozen berries instead of water and omitted the sugar.
Banana- Made as usual.
Lemon Meringue- Made as usual, it came
out the best I ever made!
Strawberry Cream Cheese- Made as above,
after heating the juice with cornstarch and before putting in the strawberries,
I put a block (3oz) of cream cheese in and used a hand mixer until well blended.
I then gently added the berries, poured in the pie shell and refrigerated for a
few hours.
Key Lime- Filling from a can, It left a
lot to be desired in my opinion.
Chocolate Pumpkin- Just add chocolate
pudding mix (cook, not instant), swirl it in the pumpkin and bake as directed by
your pumpkin pie recipe.
