9 Cheap Summer Pies for the Fourth of July

June 27, 2014 by MrFoodTestKitchen

Summer is officially in full swing! From lazy days at the beach to peaceful nights on the front porch, there’s something magical in the air every time summer rolls around. The only thing, in fact, that can make a summer day even better is an unforgettable dessert! And with the Fourth of July just around the corner, we’ve got a few all-American pie recipes that’ll get you excited to celebrate this summer… without breaking the bank.

Desserts don’t need to have a ton of ingredients to taste gourmet. In fact, we’ve got a collection of easy pie recipes that you can make with five ingredients or less. We’re saving money and making baking easier than ever! Plus, if you’re looking for even more cheap ‘n’ easy dessert ideas, the Mr. Food Test Kitchen has a brand new eCookbook, “Easy as Pie” Recipes: 40 Chocolate Pie Recipes, Fruit Pie Recipes & More, with a wide selection of pie recipes that’ll keep you in the kitchen all summer long.

4. Black & White Cream Pie: Listen up, white chocolate fans! It’s a white tie affair with this double chocolate dessert, and we certainly aren’t complaining.

5. Lemon Pie? Oh My!: Nothing quite says, “summer” like a sunny citrus dessert. Our light lemon pie recipe will perk up even the gloomiest of days!

7. Frozen Turtle Pie: Cool off from the scorching heat with a frozen dessert recipe the whole family will love. How could they not when it’s drizzled in caramel sauce?!
