This Calypso Pie is a family recipe I love making for Christmas dinner dessert every year. Comprised of coffee ice cream and chocolate goodness, it is a recipe you must introduce to your family.
Calypso Pie
There are few things I love more than a delicious pie recipe. Whether savory or sweet, a pie is a food I find hard to turn down, and one I always love finding new recipes for. This Calypso Pie recipe comes from my aunt’s kitchen, and one I cherish making each year. It is tradition that I whip this pie up for Christmas dinner dessert each year. It makes the sweetest ending to a wonderful day full of family and celebrating.
Southern Baked Pie
As one of my favorite family pie recipes, I was especially excited to share this pie in collaboration with my friend Amanda at Southern Baked Pie. If you missed picking it up in one of their stores last week, never fear. I am sharing the recipe for you to make at home and add to your recipe box!
Collaborating with Southern Baked Pie was such a treat, and I loved seeing the recipe come to life outside of my own family’s kitchen.
Family Tradition
This pie is one that my whole family looks forward to indulging in on Christmas night. I plan to keep this family tradition going for years to come in the hopes that it becomes a nostalgic and memorable part of my kids’ Christmas memories. Everyone needs a go-to pie recipe in their arsenal!
