Saturday Recipes - Frozen Pies!

Today I dream of trying these wonderful frozen pie recipes this Summer.

If Summer ever comes to the UK this year, frozen pie would be a perfect dessert! It's not ice cream and it's not a pie but something delicious that's in between the two - light, fluffy and refreshing on a crunchy base.

Check out this week's recipes which I've chosen for you, enjoy!

Frozen Mocha Pie

I love the combination of coffee and chocolate - it's sweet but not too sweet thanks to the bitterness of the coffee. A crunchy, buttery base and a luscious filling topped with chocolate ganache... mmm! Get the recipe here!

Frozen Raspberry Pie

It looks just beautiful and I'm sure it tastes even better! The base is made of chocolate wafers but Oreos could be a great replacement. If you want to achieve even more intensive colour, use black raspberries. Find the recipe here!

Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie

The recipe for the pie comes from Martha Stewart's new Pies and Tarts book but it has been upgraded. We have Oreo crust, and a combination of cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar with whipped cream to help lighten the texture. Melted chocolate and peanut butter are then drizzled over the top. Delicious! Click for the recipe!

Frozen Mojito Pi

When I hear the word 'mojito' I don't need any more details - I know I will love it! :)

A cold, creamy, minty, sweet and savory pie on a hot day, what more could you want? The only thing I'm not sure about is the base made of pretzels but it's definitely worth trying! Get the recipe here!

Frozen Banana Bourbon Pie

Usually when I hear that something is vegan friendly, gluten and sugar free and would never make it because it sounds so bland but this recipe looks and sounds so delicious I'm really tempted to try it! Find the recipe here!
