Offering a variety of options for guests has become a popular trend when hosting a party. A “build-your-own” food bar works for everything from appetizers to main courses to desserts! One of our favorite ideas is a build-your-own mini pie station. It’s a simple and enjoyable way for guests to create their own unique treats.
Let’s get shopping! All of the ingredients can be found at your local grocery store. Here’s a checklist of items or add your own ideas!
Shells:
- Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts
We recommend the Keebler® brand available at local grocery stores. - Tart Shells
Filling:
- No Bake Cheesecake
Philadelphia® offers it in a ready-to-go tub - Variety of Puddings from Chocolate to Lemon
- Fruit Pie Fillings
- Flavored Greek Yogurt
Toppings:
- Mini Chocolate Chips
- Sliced Fresh Fruit
- Sprinkles
- Chocolate and Caramel Sauces
- Whipped cream
Get creative with your mini pie bar and build an inviting display!
- Use a decorative tablecloth or runner to set the theme, adding height with cake stands or tiered trays to showcase ingredients and shells.
- Arrange the mini pie crusts or tart shells on a tray, displaying the fillings and toppings in small bowls or jars. Don’t forget mini scoops, tongs or spoons for serving!
- Decorate the area with fairy lights, flowers, or seasonal accents.
The combinations are endless! Kids and adults of all ages will enjoy this tiny treat!
