Ice Cream Sundae Pie

Ice Cream Sundae Pie

Today’s recipe was a reminder that I really need to make more ice cream pies. Really, is there anything better? Maybe cookies are better in the fall, but on hot days an ice cream pie like this one has everything going for it. I’m not sure where this recipe originated, but it …

Blueberry Sour Cream Tart

Nova Scotia Blueberry Cake

With blueberries in season, I thought I’d bump up a recipe we really enjoyed a few years ago. Originally titled Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream Cake, it’s more like a cheesecake than a blueberry pie, but instead of cream cheese, it’s held together by mixture of sour cream, sugar, whipped cream and egg yolks. …

Favorite Millionaire Pie

Millionaire Pie

Today’s recipe is an old family favorite and one I don’t make often enough. It’s called Millionaire Pie, and I first tried it years ago at a cafeteria here in Texas. I like to play around with the recipe and prepare it various ways, but today I made the traditional version with crushed pineapple, sweetened [...]

Mango Pie

This weekend I had dinner at a Cuban restaurant in Atlanta. The dessert offerings were key lime pie and mango pie, but it was one of those dinners where everyone eats so much that by the dessert hour, no one really cares about it no matter how enticing it sounds on the menu. But …

Coconut Cream Pie

Coconut Cream Pie

This pie recipe was recommended by my friend KAnn who adapted it from The Harry’s Roadhouse Cookbook. It’s very similar to Richard Sax’s Claremont Diner pie, which is a lighter textured cream pie with a filling stiff enough to pile above the shell.  You can make it in a 9 inch pie dish with …

Earl’s Chocolate Pie

by Anna on December 27, 2010 · 6 comments

Palmetto Auxillary Cookbook

Yesterday, I decided to find out why Earl thought the pie was so great Because it’s the type of recipe it is, it’s very short and intended for people who already have an idea of how to make a chocolate pie. I’ve added a few extra details to help you along so that even if you’ve never made one, you’ll be able to.
And it’s worth making. It’s lighter than the other chocolate pies I’ve posted (not counting the crust, of course) and has an interesting, smooth, slick texture which may be from the evaporated milk and water combo, which is one I’d never seen before in a chocolate cream pie.
