As Easy As Pie

Offering a variety of options for guests has become a popular trend when hosting a party. A “build-your-own” food bar works for everything from appetizers to main courses to desserts! One of our favorite ideas is a build-your-own mini pie station. It’s a simple and enjoyable way for guests to create their own unique treats.

Let’s get shopping! All of the ingredients can be found at your local grocery store. Below is a list of suggested items, or add your own ideas to the following:

Shells:

  • Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts
    • For example from the Keebler® brand, which is available at local grocery stores.
  • Tart Shells

Filling:

  • No Bake Cheesecake
    • Philadelphia® offers it in a ready-to-go tub
  • Variety of Puddings from Chocolate to Lemon
  • Fruit Pie Fillings
  • Flavored Greek Yogurt

Toppings:

  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Sliced Fresh Fruit
  • Sprinkles
  • Chocolate and Caramel Sauces
  • Whipped cream

Now get creative! Consider the below suggestions to build an inviting display for your own mini pie bar:

  • Use a decorative tablecloth or runner to set the theme, adding height with cake stands or tiered trays to showcase ingredients and shells.
  • Arrange the mini pie crusts or tart shells on a tray, displaying the fillings and toppings in small bowls or jars. Don’t forget mini scoops, tongs or spoons for serving!
  • Decorate the area with fairy lights, flowers, or seasonal accents.

The combinations are endless — kids and adults of all ages will surely enjoy this tiny treat!
