really good no-bake pie recipes
Now that the hot weather's here (90's for the next 3 days here in upstate NY) I'm looking for some really good, refreshing no-bake pie recipes - things I can either freeze or chill to serve later in the day.
I picked up a Jell-O meets Cool-Whip dessert booklet at the checkout the other day, and aside from one or two recipes, it's pretty lame. Anyone have some nice fruity chiffon-style recipes that don't rely on Cool-Whip?
The Mini Pie Revolution (The Blog Event). With a prize!
Anne of redactedrecipes.com and myself are jumpstarting The Mini Pie Revolution with a blog event (and there will be a baking-related *prize* for the winner). To find out more, visit:
http://www.minipierevolution.blogspot.com
I'll repost the rules here:
Your Mission
Bake a mini pie from scratch. Mini pies should be baked in a cupcake or muffin tins, but we'll let you get away with other pans (ie. tart pans) if the resulting pies remain miniature. Just how small are mini pies? Aim for mini cupcake or cupcake-sized pies. No mini pie should serve more than one person. Still, we're no size-ests here at The Mini Pie Revolution HQ. We're not going to pull out tape measures.
Create your mini pies. Photograph your mini pies. Write about your mini pies on your blog. Then:
E-mail Ann (redactedrecipes@gmail.com) or Karyn (at Kosmicfish27ATaolDOTcom) the following:
1) A 100 X 100 mini pie portrait
2) A brief description of your mini pie (just the name of the recipe is fine)
3) The title of your blog and a link to your blog
4) A link to your mini pie entry
5) Make sure your e-mail's subject head is "The Mini Pie Revolution"
Please send us your entry by Midnight EST on December 25, and we will post the results by January 1, 2008. Let's make 2008 the year of mini pies! The winning mini pie baker will be chosen by Ann and Karyn and will receive a fabulous prize. So get baking!
Calling all bakers: Looking to help the hungry this Thanksgiving?
Could you make one extra pie this year? Or maybe a dozen apple turnovers? Every Thursday, the food pantry at Central Synagogue provides a hot meal for 100-120 hungry people, but they don't have the resources to change up their regular menu (beef stew) to include any traditional Thanksgiving foods. It made me sad to think of the pantry's clients being left out of the national feast, so I have volunteered to provide enough pie for all. If you'd like to pitch in to the Pie Project and give a taste of Thanksgiving to some people to don't have much, please contact me at bookseller@nyc.rr.com.
Thanksgiving will not be complete without----------pie
As my previous thread stated, I'm full into holiday planning. Yesterday , my son called and told me he wanted coconut custard pie for Thanksgiving. But for me, the dinner will not be complete without pecan pie. What pie completes your image of Thanksgiving?
Sweet Potato Dreams
Sweet potatoes are versatile and delicious. During the fall, I make them quite often. I make a mean sweet potato pie at Thanksgiving. What is your "signature " sweet potato dish?
Perfect Peach Pie
I made a peach raspberry pie over the weekend. I winged the recipe, after looking at a few different ones. I tried a new crust from the Heirloom baking book. The pie was passable, but it wasn't perfect. Any secrets for making the perfect pie, peach or any other fruit pie?
Let's talk pie...
I love to eat all kinds of pie. There are endless possibilities for crusts, fillings & toppings. Can be served warm, cold, room temperature or even frozen. Describe your pie of choice & how it is served.
