Eye for Pie
by My friend was telling me about Good Morning America's 'Pie of Emeril's Eye' Contest. I don't really like Emeril, but some of these pies sound yummy. The winner:
Guy Pie by Winner Pam Mellor
• 9-inch baked pie shell (your own recipe or store bought)
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3 cups of whole milk
• 4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 teaspoons of almond flavoring
• 2-ounces melted unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup of flaked coconut
• 1 large banana
Slice the banana and place along bottom of your pie crust.
Stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Blend in milk and egg yolks and gradually stir into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Continue stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Blend in butter, chocolate, coconut and almond flavoring. Immediately pour into baked pie crust that has sliced bananas on the bottom. Cool pie for at least 2 hours.
After it's chilled, cover top of pie with whipped cream and sprinkle grated sweet chocolate on top.

yay! I tried it! It came out goooo-ooood! And I made it more low-fat too, by using skim milk and only a cup of sugar instead of 1 1/4. I used a graham cracker pie crust...man, sooo good! :) A little too chocolate-y for my taste but the whipped cream balances it out.. yum!
Yeah, it's good. Atta girl.
oh! graham crackers would be perfection with this great idea.
only had it once, but loved "key lime pie"
