Introduction: Delicious Literal Raspberry Pi(e) With Cryptic Mathematical Recipe
Calling all Raspberry Pi enthusiasts and geometry loving bakers! Solve the recipe, and then treat your tastebuds to this delicious 6-ingredient raspberry pi(e)!
(Don't worry; if you want to just make pie without doing the calculations first, I'm including the answers to the math problems in Step 5.)
Supplies
Crust:
-(3.14)/(2.512) c. crushed pretzels
-1^2 sticks melted butter
-2/6 c. sugar
Filing:
-.5 c. corn starch
-(3.14)/(6.28) c. sugar
-(3.14)/(4.71) c. water
-√16 c. raspberries
Step 1: Grease Pie Plate; Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
Step 2: Combine Crust Ingredients; Press Into Prepared Pie Plate; Bake at 350 for 10-12 Minutes
(If the crust is not moist enough, add 1 tablespoon - 1/3 c. water as needed before baking)
Step 3: Make Filing
Mix corn starch and sugar thoroughly, and then incorporate the water. One this mixture is smooth, pour over raspberries (mine were frozen, but fresh should work) in a saucepan and cook over low-medium heat. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until gelled and no longer pink but a beautiful red. (Stir continually.)
Step 4: Once the Crust and Filing Have Cooled Slightly, Pour Filing Into Shell and Freeze for 2 Hours or Until Set
Step 5: (Optional) Serve With Whipped Cream
Step 6: Answers to the Math Calculations...
Crust:
- 1.25 Crushed Pretzels
-1 stick butter
-1/3 cup sugar
Filing:
-1/2 cup corn starch
-1/2 cup sugar
-2/3 cup water
-4 cups raspberries
