It’s a delectable 2-in-1 dessert that’ll make your tastebuds happy.
4. Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine sounds super fancy, but it’s actually super rustic. A rich and creamy egg mixture is baked into a pie crust, creating a delectable treat. There’s more than just scrambled eggs in there, though. There’s also bacon, ham, cheese, and veggies. So yes, expect nothing but excellence. It’s an ideal breakfast dish, although I also don’t mind devouring it for brunch, lunch, dinner, or basically, any time of the day.
5. Key Lime Pie
Just the thought of Key lime pie makes me giddy. I just can’t get enough of that perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and tangy. It’s one of the most refreshing dessert pies I’ve ever had, and it gives me joy every time I take a bite. Also, look how bright and vibrant it is. The presentation alone is already a winner.

9. Millionaire Pie
Millionaire pie is so rich and decadent, it tastes like a million dollars. From the looks of it, you’d think it would be overly sweet, but surprisingly, the balance of flavors is very on point. The combination of condensed milk, whipped cream, pineapple, and lemon juice results in a delightfully refreshing dessert.
10. Raspberry Pie
As delicious as chocolate and candy bar pies are, nothing beats the goodness of a classic fruit pie. This raspberry pie is simple, but it sure hits the spot. Fresh, macerated raspberries tucked underneath a flaky and buttery pie crust. What a timeless beauty, indeed. For extra oomph, serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
11. Italian Tomato and Cheese Pie
Tomatoes are an underrated fruit (or berry, if you want to be technical). While some only see it as a supporting ingredient or garnish, I think it’s delicious enough to be the star. That’s why I invite you to try this scrumptious Italian pie. It’s a savory treat that combines the goodness of tomatoes, basil, and cheese.

Try it for yourself to experience its greatness firsthand.
14. Dream Whip Pie
If you want to make a pie but can’t bake to save your life, say hello to this no-bake pie. But don’t be fooled – just because it doesn’t require baking, doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious.

Shoo fly pie is an old-fashioned pie brought to us by the Amish all the way back to the 1880s. Filled with a sticky filling made of molasses, light corn syrup, and brown sugar, this pie is as sweet as can be. It’s so good, you’ll definitely want to keep the flies and other bugs at bay.
