chilled pie for the holidays

[prima]

Thinking about making a Brandy Alexander Pie http://food52.com/recipes/7647_1975_d... , White Russian Pie, a Rum Pie, or a Bananas Foster pie (although I guess Bananas Foster seems more suitable for Mardi Gras than Xmas). If you have a great recipe for any of these pies, could you post it?

I'm not crazy enough about Mint or Eggnog to make a Grasshopper Pie or an Eggnog Cream Pie. Not a huge fan of Coconut Cream Pie.

What other chilled pies should I consider?

My family loves this one:

I use TJ's Pound Plus dark chocolate bar for the chocolate ganache. So good.
I put Momofuko Milk Bar crack pies in everyone's cookie box this year. Huge raves:

(The recipe in the cookbook calls for 1/4 cup powdered milk and 1/4 cup freeze dried corn powder.)

thanks!

I completely forgot about crack pie. I'm more of a fan of candy bar pie than the crack pie, but thanks for the reminding me about Momofuku's pies. ;-) Might have to whip up some crack pie for my guests who haven't had a chance to try the real deal ;-)

Are you talking about pies that don't need to be baked, or ones that can be baked and then refrigerated?

For the former, there's chocolate peanut butter pie:

Mud pie, french silk, some key limes

Not necessarily a no-bake pie. Open to both types.

Thanks for the link & recs.

[chowser]

Try this two layer key lime pie--it's really good:

[chowser]

Aw, thanks--I'm all about easy and delicious! I'm drooling about the tart you posted above, too!

thanks for including the link ;-)

This is SO yummy and incredibly decadent; mind that the making of the caramel to get it stared is actually very simple... just don't think it's difficult, and it is not. Just a cook and pour, enough:), then on with the chocolate. this is SO more unctious and tasty and calorie-worthy than many iterations. Just saying. worth a bubble and bake:)

This one's easy and really good. Make a crumb crust out of gingersnaps, Get some Philadelphia brand ready made cheesecake filling. Spread about 1" into the pie crust, end to end. This time of the year jello makes a spicy pumpkin pudding mix, make that and pour into crust on top of cheesecake filling, let it set up then top with whipped cream. mmm mmm!

[prima]

sounds tasty- thanks for the suggestion.

I always liked black bottom pie, which is probably now sufficiently retro as to be fashionable again.

[prima]

I've never made a black bottom pie- right now, this is at the top of my list!

in that case...

Interesting -- none of these are the version I grew up on, which was a standard piecrust with a layer of dark chocolate custard (essentially chocolate pudding, not a baked custard) covered with a rum-flavored chiffon. The luxe version added whipped cream on the top.

It was/is really good

like this?

Other than the crust, I'd say that's the one. Got to use Myers Rum -- the white stuff is too insipid. Great stuff

[prima]

I'll be using Cockspur rum ;-)

thanks ghg!

I made this pie for Thanksgiving, minus the toppings-just swirled TJ's salted caramel sauce on top. Delicious!
