One of these days, may have to make your upcoming butterscotch pie with this crust in the chocolate version, maybe replace 1/2 cup of brown sugar in the filling with 1/2 tablespoon molasses to keep the flavor and reduce sweetness, and top with a meringue so egg whites wouldn't be wasted. Maybe try a walnut & meringue crust filled with softened coffee ice cream, possibly topped with ganache, and definitely topped with lots of the strawberries I just froze. How would a baked meringue crust freeze, or would it be necessary to scare up enough people to eat right away? It will be best to invite company to enjoy the pie-unfortunately meringue will not freeze well. JMD@KAF
