Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all! We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen. Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun. The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of
Well I promised in my last post that I would give you a simple, easy, mini chocolate pie recipe so here it is.....
Recipe:
1 egg
Splash of water
1 box of Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust softened as directed on package
1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
Sugar
1: Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2, Make egg wash by beating egg with just a splash of water till well blended. Set aside.
3. Mix pudding according to directions on package and place in the frig. to set for just a bit.
4. Unroll pie crust.
5. I don't know what size my cookie cutter was but whatever size that you want to use would be fine. The bigger the cookie cutter the bigger the pie! LOL!
6. I cut out two crusts for each pie. Then with a teaspoon I put pudding on one pie crust. Then I placed the other piece of pie crust on top.
Doesn't matter if the pudding oozes out just a little. (but not a lot)
7: Brush egg wash on the top and sprinkle with sugar
And pop in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool before serving. I think I had around 12 of these little pies with pudding left using this size cookie cutter.
Mercy, have mercy! These little things are tasty.
It's just all in a days work girls!
You can also use other flavors of pudding. Lemon Curd would be good as well.
And what did I do with the left over pudding????
And what did I do with the left over pudding????
Topped those cuties with some graham cracker crumbs and an Oreo and well....need I say more????
BUT THEN...I decided to get on a baking kick and whipped up some strawberry cookies. Needless to say a sweet friend was a recipient of a "SWEET" treat.
And I must give a shout out for our birthday girl Kyleigh. She is 5 years old now and she is full of Class and Sass and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Her first birthday:
Her 5th:
God is good and He is good all the time!!!

DeleteYummy...I'm supposed to be on a diet!!! Happy Birthday to that precious Kyleigh!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Well Miss Mary these are MINI pies!
DeleteYou know whats funny is last week I saw these chocolate pies and anticipated a big long recipe and here your post is making it look so simple! I'm thinking how that roll out pie crust can store in the fridge for a long time and how easy this recipe can be whipped up in a jiffy if I keep a few boxes of pudding on hand in the cabinet! Thank you. Hugs and blessings!
ReplyDeleteLOL! These little sweets was so stinking easy to make and not time consuming at all. Recently I've made several from scratch cakes that seemed to take me all day and lot of money so decided I needed to do something simple and cheap! And...they are good for a quick little simple dessert.
DeleteYou are an amazing girl, my friend! Your heart is filled to the brim with the love of our Lord, family and a wonderful cook!
ReplyDeleteI am pinning these, I just know that they are the yummiest goodies ever.
We need you at our upcoming art retreat to share the joy of the Lord and these amazing desserts!
Now, hop on that plane:)
Texas size hugs to you!
