Our Secret Ingredients : Florida Pie

The name is a little misleading this time, since y’all only chose one pie out of the 3 winners! What, everybody prefers to drink their desserts? Don’t answer that.

Dianne gave us a p-i-e. Now if she would just come teach me how to get the sides that perfect. Look at how smooth and silky her layers are, and what a gorgeous colour on the meringue! Then she went and combined it with ice cream.

Dianne’s Dishes

Coconut Creamsicle Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Covered Goji Berries to get very specific with it. To be honest, I have no idea what goji berries are. They’re covered in chocolate, which makes them most likely something I would eat. Then again, I’ve eaten insects because somebody put chocolate on them.

Occasional Baker

Julius wasn’t about to be confined by a pie dish, showing us his preference for the cutsey parfait. Ain’t it adorable?

 

Don’t miss his blog, in addition to the recipe he gives a nice little folk history lesson on the origins of Key Lime Pie. The way he’s put it together reminds me of the kind of thing you’d dunk a Nilla wafer into as a kid.

 

A Cookie A Day

Brianna was on the same wave length when it came to doing her pie. She did a parfait too, an elegant presentation that ends up looking like the grown up version of the one above.

She skipped the meringue, and I can’t help but give a little cheer. Whipped cream is so perfect with the lime flavours, and it made this so fluffy and light looking. The zest on top really adds the right sophistication to her dessert.
