Chocolate Mousse-Roasted Banana Cream Pie

Woot-woot! Happy Pi Day, friends!  Or what we food bloggers like to call PIE Day.

Because I am not so much into the whole Pi, 3.14 blah, blah, blah, deal.

But I am definitely into pie!  

Seriously- who isn't?? ;)

This Chocolate Mousse-Roasted Banana Cream Pie is inspired from a delicious, chunk of roasted banana cream pie I had last summer at The Black Pelican in the Outer Banks.

Their pie was this rich and creamy mile high cream pie made from roasted bananas and nestled in a thick Oreo cookie crust.  I have literally been daydreaming about and googling how to recreate it since we walked out the door of that restaurant in July.

While I didn't exactly recreate their pie in this recipe, I did create my own take on it by adding a layer of chocolate mousse and making my roasted banana layer more custard like.

S'mores Coconut Cream Pie

A favorite classic pie & a popular summertime treat come together perfectly in this no-bake S'mores Coconut Cream Pie...

Post updated 5/23/18- This no-bake S'mores Coconut Cream Pie deserved some updated photos. I did leave one of the originals down below just so you all can see for yourself why this recipe so desperately needed a little face lift. ;)

Woo-hoo!  It is Pi Day!  

Okay, okay.... I will admit it.  I am NOT a math geek.  If there were not actual PIE involved in this day, I wouldn't be anywhere near as excited.  

If you say the word PIE, then I am there!  So when Dorothy from Crazy for Crust announced her annual Pi Day Pie Party I had to RSVP, right? ;)

Originally I was thinking I would like to make some kind of S'mores pie.  Then I started thinking about how much I adore coconut cream pie.  But why should I have to choose??  

I shouldn't! This S'mores Coconut Cream Pie was my compromise :)
