I laughed myself silly reading your introduction to the buttermilk pie recipe because it hit so close to home : ) Personally I have always loved buttermilk but when my Mom came back from a trip to Louisiana and told me about something called a “buttermilk pie” she had there and raved about how good it was and that she had gotten the recipe and was going to make it for me I was horrified! Seriously what could sound worse than a pie made out of buttermilk?!

Well she made the “gross” pie and oh my gosh it was delicious beyond belief! It does not taste like buttermilk. I think it tastes similar to creme brulee. Buttermilk pie is now one of my favorite deserts in the world. And it is so ridiculously easy to make!

After that I tried to get my best friend to try it but she refused even though our tastes in food are very similar. She would not believe me when i told her it didn’t taste at all like it’s name. I kept begging her to let me make her one but the answer was always NO! Finally one day I didn’t ask–I just went ahead and made one for dessert.

When I told her what I had made she got an awful look on her face. I begged her so much to simply taste it that she finally agreed to take one small bite to shut me up. Glaring at me she lifted the fork to her mouth–and then you should have seen the look of shock on her face as she realized it was absolutely delicious! Her one small bite soon ended with her eating a very large slice!

We want her husband to try it because we know that he will love it. But since we both know that if he is told in advance it is buttermilk pie he will think it is will be horrible and will not even taste it. So we are going to be smart and NOT tell him what it really is before hand. We will find out how to say buttermilk pie in French so he will think it is some sort of very fancy French dessert. Of course we will later tell him the English translation lol : )

Hi Robin :) Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet comments! I’ll be honest – i’ve yet to try to freeze this pie (or, any pie for that matter, lol)! I think it’s generally because i am making it for something or someone and it just gets eaten immediately (devoured, lol)! But, i’m going to say that it SHOULD freeze well…though i can’t be certain. If i were going to try – i would prepare it as per the recipe and then let it cool completely. wrap/seal it as well as you can in some kind of freezer-safe container or bag (i would probably use our food saver…but freezer ziplocs or something like that should be fine, too?). i’m really not sure how long it would last…but at least a few months if sealed properly? i wish i could be of more help! i freeze cookie dough all the time, lol – but that’s the extent of my freezer knowledge, he he! Good luck – and if you try it – i would LOVE to hear how it turned out for you :) THANK AGAIN…XOXO – SP!

Wow…it DOES sounds easy to make!

I’m not really good at baking, I’ve only baked some basic/not-so-fancy cakes, muffins, cupcakes, and cookies. I’ve never tried baking pies before, but I’m really excited to give this one a go as it sounds BAKE-ABLE to me!

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us, SP!
