There Is a Reason You Don't See This Often

I Already Have A Plan for PiePie Part Two

Step One: Assemble your ingredients and materials and Templates of Rounditude.

Step Two: Fashion the Cofferdams

Step Three: Make the base crust and paint it with egg white

Step Four: Clean Your Oven (Optional)

Step Five: Pre-bake the crust for a mere twenty minutes when it should have been much longer

Step Six: See With Dismay that AN ENTIRE COFFERDAM HAS COLLAPSED. Ah, the humanity. Carefully pull out the failed cofferdam and all the foil trusses.

Step Seven: Fill with black berry, peach, and strawberry filling. Make what you think are cunning decorative strips.

Step Eight: because the Pie Filling warns against opening the oven door, do not open the door until the buzzer goes off and you see the Eye of Sauron, or the Raspberry Beret, or the PiePie of Infection.

 

Summary: I don't like canned fruit-filled pies, but Gary claims to like them, even if they have pallid armpits of half-baked pie dough buried in the interior. His mother is baking him a full fresh blackberry pie from the Elvis cookbook for him to eat tomorrow. I will not fare well in the comparison.

Now, I'm wondering if I can get frozen graham cracker crusts aluminum pie pans in various sizes (or make my own), then fill the largest 1/3rd full with a frozen filling, freeze it, place a smaller crust on top of that, fill it with another partial layer, freeze that, and then continue on.

It seems like this week intends to teach me when and how to Cut My Losses.

Great work, oh brave pioneer! 'Eye of Sauron' nails it, I think. My husband loves that glutinous artficial pie filling, too - it must be a man thing.

The trouble with the pie crusts (apart from collapsing) is that you end up with triple-thickness base in the middle. What you need is pie RINGS. Or holy pies. Holey. Perhaps you could cut rings out of a cake. Then it would be cake-pie pie. Wouldn't that be the next level?

Speechless.

I so think you should post that on "My Food Looks Funny" as the All Seeing Pie!

Anyway, I'd eat it. And I see no reason why a tripie Refrigerator edition should not work marvelously.

Big Dot - Yes, he wrinkled his nose at the fresh tasty blueberry pie his mom made because it wasn't gooey enough. Hm. Cake pie rings. Edible aluminum, essentially. Hmm.
Magpie - awed at the beauty. I understand.
Sherri - I think next weekend will be the frozen TripPie.

Even my two carbon foot-kids and eight potential carbon foot-grandkids wouldn't eat that.

I can give you Daphne's mud pie recipe. Two types of ice cream, chocolate graham crackers, fudge topping. Yum.

Hot Mom - I didn't eat it. It was hideous. Daphnes mud pie sounds good though.

I commend you for creating anything this unique. Not that I'd eat it, mind you.

Caroline - I'm really gearing up for something unique later this week, but it's a secret.
