If you are assigned dessert duty this year you will need three things: apple pie, a pint of vanilla ice cream, and a jar of Kafe Hawaij.
Don’t feel like making pie for Thanksgiving this year? We sympathize! Sometimes, you just don’t have the energy for it!
Have no idea where to pick up a show stopper of a pie? (No more run of the mill grocery store pies, we beg of you!) We thought it would be beneficial to taste test some local pies, and tell you our top favorite picks!
You MUST try out Four & Twenty Blackbird’s Salted Caramel Apple Pie. The texture of the crust is flaky and melt-in-your-mouth-y, the apples are not too hard and not cooked into applesauce, the overall flavor of the pie is so well-balanced (just the right amount of cinnamon). What else can we say, this pie is perfect. Four & Twenty Blackbird’s Thanksgiving pies are selling out quickly!!! So don’t miss out.
Petee’s Hudson Valley Apple Pie is the pie you order when you want the taste of a classic. It’s your grandma’s pie without grandma putting in all the work. This pie truly celebrates the apple, not letting any other ingredients over-power the fresh apple flavor.
All this aside, we have to say, the real show-stopper of this taste test was the side of vanilla ice cream with Kafe Hawaij sprinkled on top. This combination pairs perfectly with a piece of pie. So much more exciting than the plain vanilla scoop always melting at the side of your dessert plate.
So pick up a pie (don’t wait on this, pre-order before they sell out!), grab a pint of vanilla ice cream and a jar of Kafe Hawaij, and dessert is served! As easy as that :)
