Quick No-Bake Pie Filling Recipes ~ Quick & Easy Pie Filling Recipes you can get ready in no time at all !
I do not normally plan my days ahead, but today I did .. and guess what? Making these no-bake pie fillings were the only thing on my planned day which happened.
More about this, but first:
My sister-in-law bought a new apartment, with all kinds of “old rubbish built-ins etc”. Now, to me that sounds like a bargain as this restoration bug has gotten to me.
Right, so we went to the new place to have a look, oh my! A lovely kitchen kind of cabinet (2 – 2.5mt long!) with louvred doors, badly in need of attention.
But for that .. I am sooo up for a challenge, since I am feeling better today. What did not work out … it was too big for us to bring home AND I forgot to take my camera so I can not even share a pic with you now.
Next – to her old place…also stuff she wants to put on the curb when moving out. Found more furniture pieces, but it is under packed boxes/bags and whatever else. Came home with only a metal kind of security door, which is still in pristine condition (have plans for that!)
Finally, home,,,, I started with these quick pie fillings when my daughter let me know she saw the cutest Jack Russel puppies. Uhmm,,,puppies? Jack Russel?
Some of you know I love, adore, Jack Russels … how to convince hubby..???? Oh easy, he fell for it almost immediately.
Now we have *JOE* a cute little Jack Russel puppy! Photos will follow when he is more settled and will actually sit still for a second or two.
Okay, back to today’s recipes:
I like no-bake desserts, they are quick and if you have ready-made pie shells, you can make all four of these in less than an hour. Excluding chilling times. I used small bite-sized pie shells which I get from our local baking store.
The quantities for each recipe given is enough for one standard size 22.5cm (9 inch) pie shell or loads of mini shells. Because I filled the mini shells, I divided some recipe ingredients by a third or a quarter.
It is also up to you whether to make them all or just one.

Hi. The coconut recipe calls for 1 cup coconut. Is it coconut milk? Thanks!

Apologies Jessica ! No it is desiccated coconut - fine coconut, not the milk {I will add this to the recipe now - thank you for bringing it to my attention !} - replying here as your e-mail is not attached to your comment.
