'Course there's gooseberry . . .

13. YES!!!!

[Spike89]

2. A couple

The one in front of me and the one I'll have next. Actually, the best pie I've ever had was a fresh strawberry and banana creme from a local pie shop that only offered that variety for about a week when local berries were in. In general though, I like banana creme the best, but peach ala' mode is right there.

yum

10. Wow, I thought I was the only coconut custard fanatic.

Whenever anyone else speaks of a coconut pie they always seem to be referring to coconut cream, but I like the coconutty custard. I make it (the custard) in a separate glass pie dish and "slip" it into a finished crust and then cover it with whipped cream and toasted coconut. It was my all-time favorite until this last Thanksgiving, when I made a fantastic peanut butter pie with chocolate ganache.

I also love Ina Garten's Pumpkin Banana Mousse Tart as well as cherry tart in an almond crust.

11. Only a true gourmet would toss around words like chocolate ganache.

Be still my heart.

Seriously. Your descriptions are making me want something sweet.

Coconut custard is truly underrated.
It would be naked without whipped cream and toasted coconut.



Off the pie topic: how do you feel about banana pudding?

[LancetChick]

15. Love banana pud!

And banana milkshakes. And I forgot to add Key Lime and Dutch Apple with sour cream, nuts and raisins to the pie list.

9. Is it March already?

I must have slept through February - actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

14. Reading this thread made me want pie.

But I had to settle for brownies so they are in the oven.

Chess, Apple, Strawberry are my favs.
