Vanilla and Pistachio Pies. (Continuing from the boring title theme.)

So. As you may have guessed, we also made pies this week. We made two- A Vanilla Meringue with Graham Cracker Crust and the pie of our choice. I chose Pistachio Pudding, also with Graham Cracker Crust. I shall elaborate.

RECIPE #1: Vanilla Meringue Pie
Imagine the tastiest thing you can imagine. Then imagine something a thousand times yummier. This pie tasted better than that. The process of making it was uneventful and honestly rather dull, but the rewards were more than worth it. The Meringue was the most complicated bit, having to get the consistency just right, but it turned out okay in the end. The crust was very fun to do, especially smashing little crackers to bits with a rolling pin. I stirred the pudding for most of my time, and was very bored all the while, but still. Deee-licious. Due to the exorbitant amount the recipe made there was some leftover, and this is one recipe I would definitely want to make again. Maybe without the Meringue, 'cause it didn't really add anything taste-wise.

RECIPE #2: Pistachio Pudding Pie
Ah, another alliteration.One would generally not expect something so green to be so tasty, but that was the case. I had made this recipe before, so I mostly knew what to expect, but I did try some new things so I was still somewhat in suspense as to how it would taste. It was SO BLITHERING EASY to make. The graham cracker crust? Done in twelve minutes, tops. Pudding? Nothing to do but stir while the crust was baking. As a matter of fact we spent ninety percent of the time shelling pistachios to put in the filling. And we were still done before everyone else with half the class to spare. Not to mention it tasted like heaven in a pie tin. I will most definitely make this recipe again (Perhaps without the whole pistachios since they were expensive) but I would add a bit less milk to the pudding, to make it more solid and less sloppy.
