*Blue Peep Pie
from Martha McLemore*
This pie requires one cookie crumb- or graham cracker crust. The pink Peeps look
nice in the chocolate cookie crust. The blue...well, the blue ones rank right up
there with those abominable lavender chickies, in my opinion, so use whichever
crust you like for them.
Ingredients:
1 cookie crumb pie crust
1 four-serving box blue gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half/light cream)
3 cups cold, but thawed non-dairy whipped topping
2 tablespoons Curaco (sp?) or similar blue liqueur
15 (1 package of 3 boxes) blue Peeps
1 cup fresh blueberries for garnish
Freeze crust while you prepare the pie filling.
Pour one cup boiling water over gelatin in heat proof bowl. Stir
to dissolve gelatin. Add 1 cup cold milk and liqueur. Blend well and
refrigerate until gelatin has thickened, but not set firm.
Fold in thawed topping to chilled gelatin mixture. Mix completely so that no
streaks remain, but avoid overworking. Spoon filling into frozen crust. Snip
apart each family of Peeps. Arrange in concentric circles atop pie
filling. Use fresh blueberries to fill in gaps between Peeps. Refrigerate
for at least three hours.
Peeps refrigerated for longer than 36 hours will begin to "weep" and
ooze melted sugar. With the blue or lavender Peeps, this is a particularly
disgusting sight.
Serve with Blue Genie cocktail or blue Kool-aid.
