A Winter Guide: Baking Delicious Pies

While the weather is relatively mild in California, your mood can still turn grey when the clouds set in and temperatures start to drop. Pies are a great to cure for such times. Try these delicious pie recipes to feel happier and full of energy this winter!

Buttermilk Pecan Pie

This traditional dessert is a treat for your taste buds, with its tantalizing flavors and nutty texture. All you need to do is mix cream, butter, and sugar, and then beat the eggs into the mixture. Then, add flour, vanilla essence, and lemon juice. Finish it up with a stir of buttermilk and pecans and let it bake.

Lemony Sweet Potato Pie

This pie is the perfect end to your meal with its light texture and citrusy flavor. To make this delectable dessert, you need mashed sweet potatoes.

Mix them with a mixture of milk, water, butter, and lemon and vanilla extracts. Pour the mix into a shell—which you can get from our online baking shop—and bake it. And voila! This amazing lemony goodness will be ready in no time, warming up your belly.

Candy Cane Pie

This is a relatively easy recipe. And you can make it even simpler by using store-bought crust. Heat up marshmallows and milk, until you get a smooth mixture. Then remove it from the heat, and stir salt, vanilla extract, and food coloring into it.

Cool, and then stir in the crushed peppermint candies you can get from our store. Then, fold whipped cream into the mixture.

Layer it onto the crust and refrigerate overnight. Sprinkle some candy on top for garnish.

Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie

Who doesn’t love a burst of peanut butter in your chocolate dessert? All you need to do to make this happen is mix crushed pretzels with sugar and melted butter. Make it into a crust, and then bake it. While it cools down, you can make the filling.

For this, you need to mix gelatin in cold water and let it stay for a good five minutes. Beat peanut butter, butter, cream cheese and some more sugar until it smoothens. Then, beat the whipped cream into the mixture.

Microwave the gelatin for 10 seconds and add it in. Then, transfer the mixture onto the crust. Follow this up with the addition of ganache onto the top, and then refrigerate it to set. Three hours into it and this rich dessert will be ready to eat!
