Pie Of The Month: Coconut Cream Pie with Cortney

In 2023 we’ll be doing pie a whole new way – EVERY MONTH! Pie is all about practice and repetition and these classes are structured to help you feel more comfortable and confident with a variety of different methods of pie making. Start your pie journey with us and make your pies the star of every event. This is a hands-on class in our workshop style.  Each person will make their own 8” pie each month to take home (you may work on a filling together, but everyone will make their own crust). Cortney will bake each featured pie for the month for us to all taste.

In this series we’ll take a deep dive into core pie techniques like Cookie Crusts, Butter Crust, Lard Crust, Lattice Work, Double Crust, Blind Baking, Crostadas/Galettes and Hand Pies.  Plus we’ll learn how to decorate with streusel, cut outs and stabilized whipped cream. For fillings we’ll focus on the five main types of pie: Cream, Fruit, Nuts, Custard and No Bake.

For our third month we’ll be making Cortney’s Coconut Cream Pie, and this one is a little different than your average coconut cream! Learn how to get a delicious and natural coconut flavor – not the manufactured coconut flavor that we usually taste in a coconut cream pie. Plus, we’ll work on how to make stabilized whipped cream that will hold up to 3 days (yeah, you heard me!). And we’ll learn how to use cookies for our crust rather than graham crackers – and still get a great texture and balanced flavor.
