I love pie. And I love Coke. So what do you get when you put together Coke and pie?A dessert marriage made in heaven! Regulars here know that I have a bit of an addiction to the beverage so when the chance came to put a can of Coke into a pie, I jumped.
🥤 The Amish and Soft Drinks
Do the Amish drink soft drinks? That post will answer most of your questions. But the short answer is sometimes and it depends largely on the individual and the individual Amish community. I know Mountain Dew is really popular in some Amish settlements and Pepsi seems to have done a better job than Coke of getting their name out there among the Amish.
📋 Step-by-Step Coca Cola Pie
So, a few takeaways my my experience. The recipe calls for a whole can of Coke! Man, was that satisfying, just cracking open a can and pouring 12 ounces of fizzy wonderfulness into the filling. You have to put the filling over medium heat and and stir until it thickens. But you don't want to stir it until it is like concrete....a thick pudding is probably the way to go
The final verdict: a VERY good pie, very rich....wonderful topped with cold whipped cream. Does it taste like Coke? No, unfortunately, not really....tastes like a good chocolate pie, though , and that is not a bad thing.
The "ganache" is an easy microwaved topping of chocolate chips and heavy cream, and that was delicious.
The pie cuts the best after chilled for awhile. And if you want a super easy and delicious pie crust to use for this, my go to is the pat-a-pan pie crust. Now if you are a diehard Pepsi or RC fan, would this recipe work with those? I won't go over to the dark side and use Pepsi, but an RC Pie doesn't sound bad!
Enjoy with homemade whipped cream or if you want to be lazy, like me, just use Cool Whip. Store leftovers in an airtight container and then stick in the refrigerator and enjoy.
