Let’s talk Easter desserts—the part of the meal that can’t help but steal the spotlight! Today is Pi(e) Day, and we’re sharing seven sensational pies that will be a delicious addition to your Easter table. From a creamy, dreamy coconut to a burst of tangy lemon, there’s a pie for any palate at your table. Which one will you be baking?
Loaded with fresh berries, this pie gets a touch of warmth from cardamom in the filling. As for that buttery crust-there’s no butter. We added lard to give the crust a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture (but you can also substitute unsalted butter, if you prefer).
Orange blossom water offers light, floral flavor, while a crisp brûlée topping lends a crunchy texture to the custard filling in this elegant pie.
This British pie import has been thoroughly absorbed into American tradition. With the winning combination of ripe bananas, sticky toffee, and whipped cream, it’s not hard to see why.
Double-crusted and jam-packed with strawberries, this pie is delicious with a generous scoop of freshly whipped cream.
This creamy, tropical dessert makes use of unsweetened coconut milk in both the filling and the fluffy cloud of whipped topping.
Originally thought up by the Shaker community in the Midwest, Shaker pie is made up of whole slices of macerated lemons and a rustic, flaky crust. We twirled up the traditional recipe by using Meyer lemons for the filling of our Meyer Lemon Shaker Pie. The maceration process releases the Meyers’ subtle floral quality while our Ginger Pie Dough (that comes together super quick in the food processor!) balances out the filling’s tart flavor with a sweet and spicy kick.
If you like a pie with some crunch, this is the recipe for you. Our remix on the classic pecan pie abounds with texture. Smooth orange blossom honey and a tender Pâte Brisée crust soften the unique blend of pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts.
