Chai Pie

One of my favorite pies so far, the Chai Cream Pie. Made for friends. It came out quite good.

Chai Cream Pie

After making home-made chai a couple times... I was in love with the flavors. My lovely wife, fountain of wisdom that she is, said, "Why don't you make a chai pie?"

I found a recipe online, and did.

Maple-Buttermilk Pie with Rye crust

I'd never had buttermilk pie before, but it's a new favorite. It's sweet and custardy, and tangy like key lime without citrus. This recipe comes from http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/maple-buttermilk-pie-recipe.html, and the photos there prove that I have a long way to go in the pie-appearance department. However: tasty as can be. (Pictured here with a somewhat generous dollop of whipped cream).
