they're gettin' them tomorrow. i'm making 12 individual ones. i should make the whipped crème now, so that can drain properly. (i make my own.)
bartender gave me an adorable ring earlier. we were sorting jewelry she got in bulk, & detangling a few items. i owe her, now.
i'm so tired. we spent hours pulling knots from gold/silver jewelry chains, via patience.

No, I bake mine too. I thought you just needed the ingredients. I bake mine at 325° for about 15 minutes.

Pretty much all pies have the crust baked but there are lots of pies that have filling that isn't baked. One of my favorite summertime pies is a Lemon Icebox Pie. The graham cracker crust is baked and cooled and then the filling is added and refrigerated.

Whip together:

2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese (brought to room temperature)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 lemons

Pour into a graham cracker pie crust. Spread the filling to the edges and refrigerate a couple of hours until set.

that seems so refreshing, mama~

someone suggested i freeze a key-lime one. i gave them away already, tho, & now have an excuse to make others. & ur pie, too.:whistling:

dan, many pastry shells get blind baked. that means that u generally line an uncooked pan of dough w/ foil, then weight that dough w/ dried legumes or weights made fer the purpose. then, after baking the shell, the filling is poured in & left as is.

That should read: The juice and zest of 3 lemons. Sorry about that :blush:

Mama. that's what I'm saying. When it comes to pies, there's going to be some heat applied. Today, it was blackberry cobblers, and the kitchen got hot....

Luvs, yeah, prolly there's no heat pies, but just not around here. Fore sure today.... ;-)

Anybody want to slash a peafowl? The bastards are hooting it up big time on the hill....

If you make a cookie crumb crust, the actual crust isn't usually baked but if you want to get technical, the cookies are.

You can also make a crust out of corn flakes or pretzels with sugar and butter. Neither of those require baking either.
