Weird Easter Pies

I've come to the point in my pie journey, where I've made all of the safe pies. Now, if I intend to finish this project, I'm going to have to make some of the weirder pies in the book. The two pies for Easter definitely seemed more strange to me, but turned out alright!

1. Neapolitan Easter Pie
The filling is made with wheat berries, pastry cream, and ricotta cheese. The flavor was good, and they are visually appealing, but the wheat berries were an odd addition. I don't think this will become an Easter tradition.

2. Easter Passover Tart
Supposed to be gluten, and dairy free; I made it just gluten free. The crust is made of coconut, and the filling is pastry cream, cream cheese and almond flour, topped with fresh berries. Again, it was different, but oddly tasty!
3. The Sunday before Conference, I made this Strawberry Bandana Pie. It was delicious! These are the kinds of pies I like, fruity and double crusted!
