 This is what I shall henceforth refer to as a ‘learning pie’. I learned lots of things with this pie. 

 Filling:

3 cups sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup sour cream

3/4 cup lime juice

lime zest

Meringue:

egg whites + 3/4 cup sugar (note : I keep a jar of egg whites leftover from recipes where I use just the yolks, so I'm not really sure how many eggs worth of whites this took. It was somewhere around 1 - 1.5 cups. Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Dollop onto the cooled key lime pie)

 This was a mini-pie experiment. I mainly wanted to (1) create a pie with a chocolate crust to see if it’s any good (2) use up some of the dates from the sweet quiche recipe. 

Ingredients
1/3 cup butter
3 TBSP flour
2 cups milk
cheese (mixture cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan)
cumin, paprika, salt
pasta (mixture of shells and cavatappi)

Blind bake the crust until it firms up, but doesn't quite brown. 

In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the flour whisking thoroughly. Add the milk and whisk until it thickens. Add the cheese and then pour the cheese mixture over the pasta. Let cool before pouring the mac n' cheese into the pie shell. Sprinkle the f...

 To make mini pies I tend to use the recipe for the full sized pie - I just slice the apples smaller. I’ve never gotten to the end of this without having either too much filling or too much crust. Obviously, aim for the former because you can just eat the remainder.

2 oz. bittersweet chocolate

 I improvised my lasagna so I’m not going to even try and guess the quantities of ingredients - but the premise is essentially: put lasagna in a pie crust (complicated, I know). I sprinkled the lasagna-noodle lattice with mozzarella and parmesan. For the first 20 or so minutes of baking I kept it covered with tin foil so the cheese and crust didn’t burn and… voila. I took the sugar out of my pie crust recipe and added a little extra salt so that it suited the ...
