Start with a classic—Southern Buttermilk Pie. It's creamy, cool, and ready for a topping of homemade whipped cream and fresh berries. If you're looking for a pie that will appeal to your chocolate fans, look no further than our Fudge Pie. It's gooey, indulgent, and exactly what your chocolate-filled dreams have been craving. Of course, it wouldn't be spring without strawberries, strawberries, and more strawberries. We have a few options to choose from that feature these fan-favorite berries. Personal-sized options like Mini Strawberry Tarts and Mile-High Mini Strawberry Pies are ideal for smaller gatherings. If you're serving a crowd, bake up a couple of our Strawberry Cream Pies. Now, of course, we can't neglect our banana pudding fanatics, who will adore our Banana Cream Pie. No matter which pie you bake (or don't bake, if you land on an oven-free recipe), you're sure to tempt guests to a second slice. This collection of easy Easter pie recipes has something for everyone. 01 of 40 South Carolina Coconut Cream Pie Southern Living Recipe: South Carolina Coconut Cream Pie The phrase "a slice of heaven" must have been coined with silky cream pies like this one in mind. 02 of 40 Strawberry-Rhubarb Pretzel Pie Iain Bagwell; Prop Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine; Food Styling: Hadas Smirnoff Recipe: Strawberry-Rhubarb Pretzel Pie This old-school flavor combination shines in a cool icebox pie. 03 of 40 Classic Southern Buttermilk Pie Photographer: Fred Hardy II, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall, Props Stylist: Christina Brockman Recipe: Classic Southern Buttermilk Pie Each bite of this nostalgic pie will take you back in time.
