Blueberry Coconut Mini Pies

Spring has arrived in the Mid-Atlantic - the birds are chirping and the daffodils are blooming. I love this time of year. Everything, including myself, comes back to life. I can enjoy spending the afternoon outside pulling weeds and getting my hands dirty. I love it!


It's also the perfect time for no-bake treats. I admit, I use the oven as a way to heat the house up sometimes. I felt so cold this winter that I would stand in front of my oven when I was done baking and just enjoy the warmth! 



A few weeks ago Lucky Leaf asked if I would be a taste tester for one of their new pie flavors. I was asked to make their Fluffy Blueberry Cream Pie with Toasted Coconut and give them a review. 

Well, I loved it! It was easy to make, tasted great, and it's purple! How many purple desserts are there? I seriously loved the color. It was fun! My daughter got a kick out of it!


I have to tell you that I am not very good at cutting a graham cracker crust pie... they look horrible when cut. So, I decided to make my version of them mini pies. You can get pre-made mini graham cracker crusts and just fill them up instead. They aren't quite as impressive as a large pie, but I really like personal sized treats. 

You know what else I like?? A special delivery of flowers! 

Lucky Leaf has teamed up with FTD to give all my viewers a $10 savings on select flowers. Head on over to FTD and check out their selection of flowers. Send some to yourself, to your best friend, or to a family member. My mini rose bush sure did brighten up my day.


Some pie and some flowers will definitely make anyone happy to have you over.

Thank you to Lucky Leaf for providing me with the pie filling necessary for this recipe.
