We're pretty boring when it comes to pie. Looking at my 12 posts on the subject, they are mostly variations of our favorites- apple, blueberry & chocolate. For Pi{e} Day, I decided that I wanted to get out of the box a bit. Still working my way through all my sticky notes making to-try recipes in Taste of Home's 100 Family Meals, and one of those recipes was Coconut Macaroon Pie.
Simple to make, starting with a store bought pie crust. I am not a great crust maker, which is why I think my pie selection is so limited. The only sub I made was vanilla for the almond extract, due to allergies.
I have beautiful glass pie dishes which really allow you to see if your bottom crust is soggy or not. The down side is that it does take the pie a bit longer to cook- I covered it with foil at the 35 minute mark because it was browning very quickly. Mine took about 50 mins.
This is so good. It tastes like the inside of a Mounds bar. It would be great with a drizzle of dark chocolate. It cuts beautifully with a serrated pie server. This goes straight into the Family Favorites file, and maybe next time I'll even attempt a crust from scratch!
