Why We Love Pies: A Sweet Debate

For me, there’s an undeniable charm to pie. While cake certainly has its place in the dessert hierarchy, pie often steals the show with its incredible versatility and comforting appeal. Think about it: from the tangy brightness of fruit pies to the rich decadence of cream pies, the sheer variety is astounding. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures – a flaky, buttery crust cradling a delightful, flavorful filling. Plus, many pies boast the added bonus of fruit, lending a refreshing contrast to their inherent sweetness. They feel a bit more grounded, a comforting embrace rather than a grand spectacle, and that’s precisely why they hold such a special place in my heart.

Cakes can often feel like a monumental endeavor, grand and glorious, but sometimes a bit overwhelming for a casual treat. Pies, on the other hand, often present themselves in a more approachable, “just right” fashion – a perfect individual slice that hits all the right notes without being too much. It’s a bit like Goldilocks and the Three Bears; pies are often “just right” in their simplicity and satisfying portion size, making them ideal for any occasion, big or small. The diverse fillings and crust combinations ensure there’s a pie for every palate and every season, making them a consistently delightful dessert choice.

Discovering EDWARDS® Pies: Convenience Meets Decadence

During a recent trip to Walmart, my eyes were immediately drawn to the freezer section, where an array of EDWARDS® Whole Pies awaited. I’d been pondering the idea of blending a slice of pie into a milkshake ever since I experimented with cake in a shake a few months prior. The thought had lingered, a delightful “what if” that promised a new level of dessert indulgence. Seeing the EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie felt like destiny. It was the perfect opportunity to finally test my theory: could a slice of pie truly elevate a milkshake, transforming it into something even more extraordinary?

Spoiler alert: it was an absolutely brilliant decision! This was a culinary experiment that exceeded all expectations and one I eagerly anticipate repeating. The convenience of simply picking up a high-quality, pre-made pie from EDWARDS® allows for spontaneous dessert creations without the fuss of baking from scratch. Their pies offer that homemade taste without the extensive prep work, making them an ideal choice for busy individuals or anyone craving a quick, delicious treat. Beyond the Reese’s sensation, I also grabbed an EDWARDS® Key Lime Pie, a flavor I, surprisingly, had never experienced. Let me tell you, it was exceptionally good – bright, tangy, and refreshingly smooth. I’m already looking forward to enjoying another slice, perhaps even venturing into a Key Lime Pie shake!

Effortless Delights for Family Gatherings

Both the EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie and the EDWARDS® Key Lime Pie were resounding successes with my family. There’s something truly wonderful about being able to unwind from a busy day in the kitchen and still present a fantastic dessert that everyone loves, without having lifted a finger to bake it. These pies offer that perfect balance of quality and convenience, making family dessert time stress-free and enjoyable for all. It means less time baking and more quality time spent with loved ones, savoring sweet moments together.

The night I served them, it was a fun divided house: some family members opted for a classic slice of pie, savoring its traditional charm and velvety texture, while others, myself included, eagerly dove into the innovative pie shakes. Naturally, I was firmly on the “shaken, not stirred” team, ready to experience the unique blend of flavors and textures in liquid form. The pie shakes were a phenomenal hit, proving that these frozen desserts are not just for special occasions but perfect for any moment you crave something truly delicious and a little out of the ordinary. The ease of preparation makes EDWARDS® pies a staple for any household looking for gourmet-quality desserts without the effort.

Celebrating “Just Because” Moments with EDWARDS® Pie

The beauty of EDWARDS® Whole Pies, and indeed these incredible pie shakes, is that you don’t need a grand reason to indulge. These delightful treats are perfect for celebrating the everyday – a small victory, a moment of connection, or simply the joy of being together. Whether it’s to commemorate a family milestone, acknowledge a kind gesture from a neighbor, cheer on a great play in a baseball game, recognize a personal achievement like finishing a summer reading list, or even celebrate a child swimming underwater for the first time, these pies and shakes add a touch of sweetness to any occasion. They transform ordinary moments into memorable ones, offering a simple way to show appreciation or just enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

And sometimes, the best reason of all is “just because.” Bringing the family together over a shared dessert, celebrating each other and the simple pleasures of life, is what truly matters. EDWARDS® pies make these moments accessible and effortless, allowing you to focus on the company and the joy of the occasion rather than the complexities of dessert preparation. They’re a reminder that every day offers opportunities for celebration, and a delicious pie shake is the perfect way to mark them.

Ingredients

For the Homemade Peanut Butter Sauce:

• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons light Karo syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Decadent Pie Shake:

• 2 slices EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie
• 3 cups high-quality vanilla ice cream (slightly softened for easier blending)
• ¼ cup milk (whole milk for richness, or your preferred milk. Have extra on hand!)
• 2 tablespoons of your freshly prepared Homemade Peanut Butter Sauce (plus extra for a beautiful glass garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (also keep extra for artistic glass garnishing)
• Whipped Cream (freshly made or canned, for a luxurious topping)
• Maraschino Cherries (for a classic, vibrant finish)
• Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (approximately 4 mini cups, for an extra crunch and flavor boost)

Instructions

Preparing the Homemade Peanut Butter Sauce:

1. In a medium-sized microwavable bowl, combine all the ingredients for the peanut butter sauce: creamy peanut butter, heavy whipping cream, light Karo syrup, and unsalted butter.
2. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Carefully remove the bowl (it might be hot) and stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until the sauce is completely smooth, shiny, and well-combined.
3. This recipe will yield approximately ½ cup of delicious homemade peanut butter sauce. If you have any unused portion, transfer it to a tightly sealed airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. To soften it for future use, simply warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds. It will remain fresh and delicious for up to 5 days.

Assembling the Pie Shake for Perfection:

1. Begin by carefully removing the EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie from its carton. For optimal blending and consistent results, it’s best to slice the whole pie into six even portions.
2. Into a sturdy, high-powered blender, place two of these delicious pie slices. Add 3 cups of slightly softened vanilla ice cream, ¼ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of your freshly made homemade peanut butter sauce, and 2 tablespoons of rich chocolate syrup.
3. Secure the lid and blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and thoroughly combined. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all pie pieces are incorporated.
4. Before pouring the shake, prepare your serving glasses for an extra touch of elegance and flavor. Drizzle additional peanut butter sauce and chocolate syrup artfully along the inside walls of each glass.
5. Pour the perfectly blended pie shake into the decorated glasses, filling them to the brim.
6. To complete this utterly decadent treat, generously top each shake with a cloud of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for added texture and flavor, and a vibrant maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and prepare for pure enjoyment!
7. *Chef’s Tip: If your shake is too thick to blend or pour easily, slowly add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you achieve your desired, perfectly sippable consistency.

This EDWARDS® REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP® Crème Pie Shake is, without exaggeration, a masterpiece. I proudly rate it 4 out of 4 rolling pins – an absolute perfect score! From the very first sip, it’s an explosion of harmonious flavors that dance on your palate. The creamy, dreamy texture is instantly satisfying, while the distinct notes of rich chocolate and decadent peanut butter from the pie come through beautifully, perfectly balanced. What truly sets this shake apart, however, are the delightful little bits of pie crust that get incorporated into the blend. These subtle textural surprises add an incredible dimension, reminding you that you’re not just enjoying a milkshake, but a truly innovative dessert experience that marries the best of both worlds: the comforting familiarity of pie and the refreshing indulgence of a shake.

The strategic addition of the homemade peanut butter sauce and extra chocolate syrup isn’t just for garnish; it intensifies those core Reese’s flavors, making each mouthful a deeper, more indulgent dive into peanut butter and chocolate paradise. It’s an incredibly satisfying and remarkably refreshing treat, especially when the summer heat demands something cold and delicious. The combination is a nostalgic nod to classic flavors, elevated into a sophisticated and utterly crave-worthy drink. Trust me, this shake is more than just good; it’s an experience you’ll want to savor again and again, cementing its place as a new favorite in your dessert rotation.
