Oooh, la la.  If you need chocolate like I need chocolate, well, we're in good company.  This is one lush pie, so rich.  The peppermint touch is just right.  

"Custardy coconut, crunchy almonds, rich chocolate...all settled in a delicate crust.  It's dreamy and rich.  If you like Almond Joys, you'll love this."

It’s creamy smooth and has deeper, richer flavors than pumpkin.  A very satisfying pie and easy to make.  Be sure to serve it with whipped cream!  This is an updated recipe, which happened to win a blue ribbon for a Pie Pal at the NM State Fair Pie Contest.

When you’re looking for a special dessert, here’s one that brings together the best of the season:  apples, caramel and nuts. Sweet & nutty, just like the holidays!

Cherry pie is good, any cherry pie!  And this one, blessed by a layer of chocolate ganache under the flavorful cherries and topped by a crust designed to look like a sunflower, is exceptional.  One fan said, 'This recipe is a national treasure!'   It won a blue ribbon at the New Mexico State Fair.

Smash those peaches!  Really.  Get the best ones, the tree-ripened ones, and smash a few to cook up as a glaze that will hold the remaining fresh, uncooked slices together in a crisp crust.  Oh!  So good.

Blueberry pies can be unpredictable -- either runny or too much thickener.  Not this one, though!  It takes advantage of the thickening power of pectin and creates beautiful slices every time.  This recipe uses less sugar than most recipes, which is also great.

In a charming twist, this recipe brings a pretty red flare to your apple pie and the red hots add a subtle crispness.  The result is stunning!  

Usually I say peach pie is my favorite, but this fresh peach and raspberry tart might be even better.  The nutty almond crust says "I love you" to the peaches, the raspberries add color, and the not-too-sweet peach glaze holds it all together with joy.  Try it!

Creamy decadence.  Really, what else do you need to know?  Oh, the crust is a perfect complement to the filling, being the tiniest bit nutty.  Real rum makes it a special occasion treat.

Nuts to apple pie!  Yes, adding nuts is just the thing sometimes.  Nuts and butter and brown sugar make this topping a little crunchy, the perfect foil to the soft apples and crisp crust.  A blue ribbon winner.

If you love figs, you'll love this!  A slightly nutty crust, vanilla custard, the sweet burst of fresh figs, and a hint of sweet/tart chocolate bring people back for more.

Creamy rich meets slight crunch.  Chocolate meets peanuts.  And they live happily ever after.  A blue-ribbon pie!"

Silky is right!  Light like a custard, yet sensuous with ginger and cinnamon.  Everyone who likes pumpkin pie and who has tried this version has said it's their favorite.  See for yourself!  Took a blue ribbon at the State Fair.
