[NO-BAKE] SOUTHERN COMFORT™ ICEBOX PIE 19 JULY 2023
When we were enjoying the [NO-BAKE] BROWN SUGAR BOURBON ICEBOX PIE, Neal suggested that maybe the same recipe with Southern Comfort™ might taste good. Being the know-it-all that I sometimes am, I said that, SC being a sweet liquor, brown sugar AND sugar in the Jello™ French Vanilla Pudding Mix might make it too sweet. I liked the idea, however, so I thought to adapt the recipe for [NO-BAKE] CREME de MENTHE GRASSHOPPER PIE, substituting SC for the crème de menthe. FAILED IT! The cream cheese (two packages!) overwhelmed the SC; I basically had made a [NO-BAKE] CREAM CHEESE ICEBOX PIE. Which is fine, if you like cheesecake, which I don't very much. So we ate it (I had added sprinkles to the mixture and on top, for some added texture & color) and gave some to Patricia & Henry when they picked up Bailey & Zooey from Camp Skrenninger. So I revisited the recipe Neal had suggested and adapted that. Processing station . . . I used only GOLDEN Oreo™ cookies. Mixing station #1 . . . I again used a 10" pie pan . . . . . . thinking that a 9" pan would make the crust too thick. On the bottom is an 8" parchment paper round. Martha Stewart would be proud . . . . . . and into the fridge. Mixing station #2 . . . Whisking it all together until there are no streaks . . . . . . into the now-cold pie crust . . . . . . and into the fridge for six hours . . . Does anyone seriously think we can wait 'til 11 p.m. to test this? NAILED IT! 9 P.M. ADDENDUM: This version tasted MUCH better; it's a competitor with the bourbon one, that's for sure! Another keeper! Be aware that as this pie is not baked, it is alcohol-infused. EAT RESPONSIBLY!
