And yes, the regular unsweetened cocoa powder is the best to use, not the Dutch dark that it calls for. I've done it both ways, and it comes out better with the cocoa powder that is not as heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2921077 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 12:11:49 +0000 MamaintheValley 2921077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodiebee: I've decided to make the Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Pie! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I just have regular Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder on hand, is that what you used? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920849 Sun, 15 Nov 2020 18:21:43 +0000 autumnleaves 2920849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to make Ina Garten’s pumpkin banana mousse tart and the banana is not strong in that. Only stopped because my husband likes making pumpkin pie.</p> <p><a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/pumpkin-banana-mousse-tart-recipe-1941991" rel="nofollow">https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/pumpkin-banana-mousse-tart-recipe-1941991</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920815 Sat, 14 Nov 2020 09:51:47 +0000 foodiebee 2920815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: It really is next level! It rarely lasts longer than a day. The bottom becomes like a fudgy brownie consistency, then the pecan layer, and the salted caramel soaks into alllll of it. I always make homemade sweetened whipped cream to go with it, and it's a pretty perfect way to end the meal. </p> <p>For those who want to up their pumpkin pie game, this Pumpkin Pie Spectacular lives up to its name:<br /> <a href="https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-spectacular" rel="nofollow">https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-spectacular</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920811 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 22:10:31 +0000 PinkElephant 2920811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodiebee: I've never made one, but was also going to suggest some sort of chocolate pecan pie as a "next level" recipe - the one you posted with chocolate AND salted caramel sounds amazing.</p> <p>I'm not a fan of two-crust pies (even just a lattice top is a little too much crust for me), so I tend to do many of my fruit pies as "dutch" pies by adding a crumble/streussel topping. Apple is one of my favorites to do this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920810 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 21:45:09 +0000 bhbee 2920810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ilovepie: I’ve made other chess pies but can’t believe I’ve never tried pb chess - definitely making this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920809 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 19:58:11 +0000 Chuckles 2920809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: any chance you can share the French silk pie recipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920808 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 19:33:16 +0000 karenbme 2920808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family has a French silk pie recipe that’s been passed down for four generations (originally my great grandmother’s!) It is only 4 ingredients and requires epic amounts of whisking so I can’t imagine making it pre-electric mixers, but with a stand mixer it is a breeze to make and SO decadent and delicious. No joke, until my brother was in high school he wouldn’t eat pie—except this one.</p> <p>I’m also thinking about a way to layer a little bit of pecan pie filling on top of pumpkin pie because I want both, but with 2 adults and a baby three pies is too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920807 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 17:49:38 +0000 theotherstark 2920807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do pumpkin, but this year I’m also adding a chocolate cream pie. I made it last year for Christmas and it is so good! Not overly sweet, and really easy to make. We had an extra pie crust we were using, so we used a regular pie crust, which turned out fine.</p> <p><a href="https://houseofnasheats.com/chocolate-cream-pie/" rel="nofollow">https://houseofnasheats.com/chocolate-cream-pie/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920806 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 16:45:12 +0000 ElbieKay 2920806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blackberry pear.

DH really wants it this year and DS is probably old enough to understand he can't have it (and not throw a giant fit) so I think it might make an appearance this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920803 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 14:55:12 +0000 lindseykaye 2920803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmmm.. piiiieee...</p> <p>My “signature” pie is apple blackberry and pairs well with vanilla ice cream. It’s been years since I made it so DH has requested it. I’ll probably also bake some mini pumpkin cheesecakes too! </p> <p>Chocolate pecan is one I’ve seen that looks amazing but I’ve never tried, and I love the look of those fancy rosette style apple tarts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920798 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:58:35 +0000 JennyPenny 2920798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often volunteer to do dessert for our family Thanksgivings since I enjoy baking and I like that I can make it a day in advance. I typically do an apple tart, pear-cranberry streusel and a flourless chocolate torte. My family isn't big on pecan or pumpkin pie so these work well for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920796 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:03:21 +0000 MamaintheValley 2920796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Literally drooling already... </p> <p>@ilovepie: Your username is perfect for this post :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920794 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 11:45:01 +0000 gotkimchi 2920794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love crab-apple with a drizzle of our cookie frosting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920792 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 11:30:47 +0000 ilovepie 2920792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a peanut butter chess pie often. It's super easy, used normal pantry ingredients, and only one crust. I also make it non dairy with whatever oil I have on hand and it comes out fine. Sprinkle it with chocolate chips after it cooks for a chocolate top. <a href="https://www.crazyforcrust.com/peanut-butter-chess-pie/" rel="nofollow">https://www.crazyforcrust.com/peanut-butter-chess-pie/</a></p> <p>I wish Thanksgiving was only pie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920791 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 11:11:35 +0000 Chuckles 2920791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made this recipe and it turned out well: <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pear-apple-and-quince-crostata-232818/amp" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pear-apple-and-quince-crostata-232818/amp</a><br /> You could always combine other fall fruit like apple and cranberry to make something more interesting. If you can get it from the library or order it, I highly recommend the Hoosier Mama Pie Cookbook. It's a local pie shop, and all their recipes have worked well for me. Besides fruit pie, I like their chocolate chess pie, chocolate cream pie, and espresso cream pie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-pie#post-2920788 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 09:59:12 +0000 MamaintheValley 2920788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In case I’m not the only one who is distracting herself from current events with Thanksgiving recipes!</p> <p>I know this year won’t be the same with just our little crew at home, but one thing I can’t live without during this particular holiday is pie. So, I’d like to go all out with my pie baking this year and make something special.</p> <p>What are some delicious ideas that go beyond the classic blueberry, apple, and pumpkin varieties? I’d love a variation on a pecan pie but am open to hearing what else you love! </p>
