Enjoy Peeps Peepsters in a whole new way…this light and airy no bake pie! Easy to make and so tasty to eat. Perfect for Easter!
It’s April. I’m honestly kind of in a panic about that. I just don’t really know how that’s possible. I mean I know how it’s possible, but still. Easter is in a handful of days and I’ve done nothing. I kept putting it off in my mind because it was late this year and then the next thing you know it’s here.
I had all sorts of grandiose ideas about what I was going to make for Easter recipes for this blog…haha, yeah so that didn’t happen. With the exception of today’s recipe.
My podcast partner in crime Kita (Pass the Sushi and Girl Carnivore) knows that I am a fan of Peeps. Like a FAN. They used to have a fan club where you got a card to carry saying you were a member of the fan club. I carried mine in my wallet just because I loved people’s looks on their face when you would show them here’s my driver’s license, a credit card, a debit card, and oh yeah my official Marshmallow Peep fan club card. Anyway, Peeps kept contacting her to want to give her Peep stuff. She let them know they were talking to the wrong person and re-directed them to me.
They sent me some of the new Peep flavors I asked to try, MDP is a huge fan of the Orange Delight kind. They also sent me Peepsters which I had never really tried before. But once tasting one I knew it would be perfect in a recipe that I made a few years back using Cadbury Crème Eggs. It was a good call. The texture of this pie is the best. It’s so light and airy. Which can be a tad dangerous as you think gee I haven’t hardly eaten anything…same thing happens to me when I eat Rice Krispie Treats. 🙂 Feel free to use a chocolate crust instead, I went with graham cracker because that is what I had on hand.
Hopefully you are more on top of things than me and if you celebrate Easter have your game plan and items already bought.

That looks delicious to me! So light and fluffy. I’m never prepared for holidays, so this is perfect by my standards 🙂

Peabody,
Great pie. It looks so light and fluffy. I hosted Palm Sunday with recipes that would be perfect for Easter too. I’m still tired from all the work. My baking was too ambitious.
Have a wonderful Easter.
