A Thanksgiving feast just isn’t complete without pie, am I right? It’s probably my most favorite part of the whole deal. Even though I’m always more than full when it’s time to break out the pie, there’s always room for dessert, so I can usually manage to cram in at least one piece. 🙂
We’re hosting some friends at our place for the big day and I’ve been on the lookout for some delicious, preferably no-bake pies. My oven is going to be worked to the max baking up turkey and rolls, so it’ll be nice to just pre-make the pie and have it waiting in the refrigerator.
My mom used to make the same two pies every year…Lemon Cream and Banana Cream. I always SO looked forward to them. They were simply the best and were always the first to go in the sea of other pies. She would even make the crust by hand! I’ve since learned her ways, but it’s still a little intimidating making a pie completely from scratch. Do you feel the same way? I’d rather skip the “cutting in” and making sure the crust isn’t too dry or too moist.
Pie-making really is an art! However, there are lots of really amazing pies out there that don’t require baking. Take a look. Click the link below the image to go straight to the recipe.

The crust-baking instruction here is also optional. It will just make it crispier.
Also, if you’re not a coffee person, sub in chocolate ice cream of any kind.
