Tis pie season, hurrah! The worlds most valid excuse to overload on pie. And I’m sure I will be doing my fair share. I usually always take 2 or 3 small slices from the pies brought on Thanksgiving because I have such a hard time deciding from all the irresistible options sitting there. Then again I’m one of those people that sometimes sits there for 3 minutes trying to choose from a product at the grocery store, you know the one you’ll pass in the same spot twice.
One thing I’ve noticed about Thanksgiving is that it’s not too often I find chocolate pie of some sort being served. I think that’s a tradition that should definitely be changed. Chocolate is after all one of the greatest foods on the planet so let’s not forget about it during the holidays. This pie is frequently referred to as Tar Heel Pie but I thought it more fitting to label it as Brownie Pie because I hadn’t ever even heard of the first title until recently, but say “Brownie Pie” and I’m all in because I know just what to expect. I served this up with salted caramel sauce and whipped cream but really both aren’t necessary because this pie all on it’s own is incredibly decadent, so you may just want to go with one or the other. But if you are really looking to splurge since it’s Thanksgiving add the caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. I like this pie best served warm so reheat as necessary. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
