Wine Pie
Oh, love blog, how I've missed you. I convey no proficient excuse for why I've been away (except peradventure Candy Crush Saga). As I was scrolling dorsum through pictures inwards my "Cooking Blog" photograph folder, I saw these as well as giggled as well as sentiment it would live perfect, albeit belike non rattling helpful or interesting or fifty-fifty entertaining to anyone except Jen.
In 2011 Jen as well as her menage unit of measurement came as well as celebrated Thanksgiving amongst my menage unit of measurement at my mom's house. It was a blast. This past times Thanksgiving it turned out her menage unit of measurement was going to live solitary again, as well as so they joined us for 2012 Thanksgiving every bit well. We were both taking a side dish as well as pie. Neither of us are bakers, as well as the hubby had plans to operate out amongst a friend the black earlier Thanksgiving, as well as so Jen came over hither as well as nosotros threw dorsum a few bottles of vino as well as made our pies together. I don't retrieve what hers was...something amongst pudding maybe? At simply about betoken (maybe because I had an extra crust?) nosotros had the sentiment to brand a pie amongst random ingredients as well as run across how it turned out. Wine Pie was born.
We started amongst taking whatever potential pie ingredients out of my pantry, fridge, as well as freezer. I'm non certain if the Goldfish were out every bit a consideration or had been left out later my kids had a snack. And peradventure Jen's pie was pumpkin of simply about sort, thus the opened tin terminate of pumpkin.
We systematically went through the ingredients to figured out what was realistic to role as well as what wasn't. By procedure of elimination, this is what nosotros ended upwards with. Cool Whip, Nutella, Bananas, Puffins cereal, Teddy Grahams, chocolate chips, pudding mix, Cookie Butter (although I don't run across it inwards this picture), almonds, a Toblerone bar. I mean value that was it. Oh, I mean value nosotros dug through my kids' Halloween candy buckets, too.
Now, how to proceed. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 layer of cookie butter spread on the crust. By the way, if you lot haven't tried Cookie Butter, I'm actually torn on whether or non to suggest you lot to endeavor it. Crack inwards a Jar is what it could easily live called. My blood brother bought it when he was hither for Boy #2's birthday, as well as nosotros all ate it past times the spoonful. And it's vegan! Or at to the lowest degree I assume it is because my blood brother is vegan. It's the consistency of peanut butter but tastes similar cookies.
Cookie Butter was topped amongst simply about other crack-like ingredient, Nutella.
Lovely Jen layering on simply about bananas. The bananas were a delicious add-on to Wine Pie, but the hubby as well as I had to run to the shop the adjacent forenoon to larn simply about for fuel earlier a 7 mile run. Oops. We were a duo bottles deep at this point.
Next: vanilla pudding.
Topped amongst Cool Whip...because what's a pie without Cool Whip on top?
And to actually present off how boozer nosotros were, the toppings. Mini chocolate chips, sliced almonds, crumbled Puffins cereal as well as Teddy Grahams, as well as to larn inwards actually festive: candy corns.
So, the verdict? This pie was AWESOME. Seriously, it was as well as so good!! So don't allow the lack of an official recipe for something hinder your kitchen creativeness. Great things tin terminate come upwards from randomly combining ingredients you lot convey on hand!
And the final picture...the pie later having been cutting into on Thanksgiving:
