Pie Recipes for your Thanksgiving Dessert Table are on our new blog!

We have a collection of holiday pie recipes that would be perfect for your Thanksgiving dessert table.  Please check out the following recipes for a variety of recipes:

1. Coconut Custard Pie Recipe:   This old-fashioned coconut custard pie has a creamy egg custard filling, just the right amount of sweetness and is loaded with coconut flakes. This pie is super easy to make, mixes up in just 5 minutes and only requires a whisk, a bowl, a spatula and a pie crust to create
2. Pecan Pie Recipe:  Pecan pie is synonymous with Thanksgiving.  The custard portion of this pie sets perfectly and I will show you how to avoid common issues with pecan pies, such as burnt crusts or pecans and a runny center.  An instructional video is also included on our new website.
3. Apple Walnut Frangipane Tart: This Apple Walnut Frangipane tart is almost as stunning as it is delicious! It contains the complementary flavors of apples and walnuts – with the walnuts starring in the frangipane base. What is frangipane? Most commonly it is a baked pastry cream made with finely ground almonds, eggs, butter and various flavorings. If you have ever had a Bakewell tart – you have had frangipane. This recipe replaces the almonds with walnuts since they are the perfect pairing with apples.

The above is just a small selection of the many pie recipes on our site.  I also have pumpkin chiffon tart and parfaits, a peart tart, an apple walnut cranberry pie and many more.

Wishing all of my readers the most wonderful of Thanksgivings!

The Perfect BlueBerry Pie: Using Frozen Blueberries

 

Easy Pumpkin Chiffon Pie Recipe - Chiffon may also be used for a pumpkin chiffon cake filling

We added our No Bake Pumpkin Chiffon Pie to our new website - Desserts With Stephanie.  Please visit us to view a printable recipe and our step-by-step video to make the pumpkin chiffon.

This recipe produces a light, creamy and fluffy pumpkin chiffon that is poured into a sweet dough crust and chilled for a few hours before serving. For years this Pumpkin Chiffon Tart recipe has been a favorite among my bakery customers and I hope you add it to your favorites!

This produces the best pumpkin chiffon dessert.  I am a pumpkin pie lover  - but give me a choice and I will go for this easy pumpkin chiffon recipe as it never fails to 'wow' my guests. An added bonus with this recipe is you may use it when making a pumpkin chiffon cake.

Pumpkin Chiffon Recipe - for tarts, cake fillings, dessert parfaits

This is an easy no bake pumpkin chiffon.  It does require the use of gelatin for pies and tarts. You do not need to use gelatin if using for parfaits.  Give yourself at least four hours to make this dessert as it requires time in the refrigerator to set properly.
