I've never considered myself a pie person. When presented with other dessert options, pies were always a last resort. Well, that is until I tried Pie Dreams. Pie Dreams takes your average pie to the next level. I've realized the reason why I never liked pies was that I've just never had a good one! I've tried grocery store, big box retailer, and even some bakeries ... they were all simply inferior. And I realized why - none of these places specialized in pies!!
Enter Pie Dreams. So aptly named. It's the pie of your dreams and in your dreams. I had doubts when I first saw their pies, what a thick and bulky crust! And I was soo wrong. That crust (when brought closer to room temperature) is just the flakiest, crispiest, lightest, and butteriest.
As for flavors:
- Black sesame banana - this sounds crazy, and it sounds like it would never ever work. OH, but it DOES. This was the first pie I had from here, and it changed everything. I also hatee bananas in my desserts, but this was simply heavenly. Delicate, not too sweet, and a perfect marriage of flavors.
- French silk - I mean... just imagine eating the silkiest and creamiest chocolate and pair that with an incredible crust. This was a bit sweet for me, but still delicious.
- Matcha strawberry - the pairing of flavors here, again, are 10/10! The matcha filling was quite thick, almost like a cheesecake consistency? It did help keep the slices of pie intact. The thin layer of strawberry jam brought a juicy tang. Overall, the ideal - sweet, but not *too* sweet.
- Pumpkin - a classic flavor, with an extra spicy twist (not like hot spicy, but the fall spices were extra prominent in a way that I enjoyed)
