No savory cheese plate, this tart sits squarely on the sweet side of things. It’s lovely as a last course–and even lovelier alongside a generous pour of port.

Drunken pumpkin? Punken drumkin? Drumpin punkdrunk? This innocuous seeming slice boasts just a tad more, uh, character than your typical pumpkin pie.

Bet you’ll never go back to a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. A delicate crust cradles a lighter-than-air peanut-butter mousse and a decadent chocolate ganache topping.

An un-pumpkin pumpkin pie is one made with caramelized butternut squash, spices, and a splash of brandy. Softer, subtler, and oh-so-different.

Ah, coconut cream pie. The filling is a perfectly balanced coconut custard topped with billows of sweet meringue. Don’t pass on the lard and butter crust. It adds so much.

For this tart, fresh, sweet-tart strawberries sit atop of a cloud of sweetened mascarpone cheese. What could be better? Maybe a cookie crust, perchance?

This pie pastry is as easy to make as, well, pie. It’s flaky and rich but is simple and plain enough to let any filling shine.
