Arguably, one of the greatest annual holidays is coming up. That’s right. PI DAY! What better way to celebrate Pi Day as a baker than to make several heavenly pies to devour on March 14th (or 3.14)!
I’ve compiled a list of 18 easy and sensational pies for Pi Day this year, including bake and no-bake pie recipes. From Oreo dream pie to classic apple pie, there is sure to be a pie on this list that’s calling your name! Making pies is also probably one of the best Pi Day activities you can do with your kids, your friends, or even by yourself!
What is a No-Bake Pie? Why Make No-Bake Pies for Pi Day?
If you’re feeling tired or simply don’t have time to make pies on Pi Day, I’ve included several no-bake pie recipes that you can make the day before. That way, you can pop those no-bake pies in your fridge and dig in on Pi Day just the same!
You might be wondering, what in the world is a no-bake pie? Well, a no-bake pie is exactly that– a pie you don’t actually have to bake! For a classic American apple pie, you’d normally have to bake the empty crust partially, then add your apples and top crust layer, and finally bake it again! These no-bake pies don’t require any oven time and are ridiculously easy to make. Try one out for yourself and you’ll see how easy it is to make a delicious pie for Pi Day (or any occasion)!
Without further ado, here are 18 Easy and Sensational Pies for Pi Day This Year!
1. Classic Apple Pie
Apple pie is unsurprisingly America’s favorite pie flavor! It only makes sense that it’s the first pie on this Pi Day pie list. There’s something that’s undeniably yummy about sweet cinnamon apples, a flaky buttery crust, and a cold scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top of that warm slice of apple pie. Oddly enough, I’ve even heard of some people putting a slice of cheese on top of their warm apple pie! Everyone has their preferences– do what makes you happy with your pie for Pi Day!

2. Homemade Cherry Pie
I can’t lie, I’ve never been a big fan of cherry flavor. It wasn’t until I made a homemade fresh cherry pie that I became a convert. That sickening artificial cherry flavor doesn’t even hold a candle to a homemade cherry pie made with fresh cherries, and there’s not a person in the world that can convince me otherwise! If you have the ability to make a scratch-made cherry pie for Pi Day, do it. You won’t regret that decision. Not a chance!

3. Mile-High Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon meringue pie will always be one of my favorite pies. There’s something about that bright, tart lemon curd underneath that beautifully toasted, marshmallowy meringue that makes it so addicting. A perfect pie for Pi Day for those of us that love a nice sweet and sour combination!

4. Florida Key Lime Pie
Are you even Floridian if you don’t like key lime pie? This pie is the perfect pie for Pi Day! Aside from the deliciously tart flavor of key lime pie, it also only uses a few different ingredients. All you have to do is add them into a bowl, mix, and BOOM! Your key lime pie filling is ready to go into a graham cracker crust and be baked.
While there are no-bake key lime pie recipes that exist out there, I find that the best key lime pies I enjoy are the ones that are baked. There’s also a debate on the best topping for key lime pie is, since some people actually top their key lime pie with meringue instead of whipped cream! Personally, I’m team whipped cream, but that’s for you to decide your favorite topping.

5. Bright Blueberry Pie
Blueberry season is right around the corner! Aside from all of the other blueberry baking recipes you can find, this bright blueberry pie is a definite crowd-pleaser. The best blueberry pies incorporate just a touch of lemon zest and lemon juice to really enhance that blueberry flavor– keep that in mind next time you make a fruity pie for Pi Day!
You can find the recipe here.
6. Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble Pie
Even though blueberry season is coming soon, strawberry season is actually happening right now! The Florida Strawberry Festival is a rather popular event here in Florida every February, particularly because Plant City, Florida is a big strawberry producer.
One well-known pairing of strawberries is rhubarb! You might be wondering, what even is rhubarb? Rhubarb looks a lot like a pink piece of celery… that’s probably the best way to describe its appearance. Generally, rhubarb tastes better cooked than raw because it will give you the chance to add sugar. It has a naturally tart flavor, which is why it pairs so nicely with sweet strawberries! Overall, this combination makes an excellent pie for Pi Day.

7. Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie
Old-fashioned pecan pie is a classic Fall-flavored pie, but who says you can’t make pecan pie for Pi Day? My family has always loved pecan pie! The combination of toasted pecans, a gooey sugary filling, and a flaky butter crust to complete it. It genuinely tastes like you’re eating a pecan candy bar. Try it out and see what you think!

8. Perfect Pumpkin Pie
Another one off of the Fall-flavored list of classics, this pumpkin pie is simply perfect! I get it, not everyone likes pumpkin pie. But how do they not like how creamy that sweet pumpkin filling is? Or how perfectly it pairs with a flaky pie crust? Pumpkin pie will always be my favorite kind of pie, which makes it the perfect pie for Pi Day. Who says you have to wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie?

9. Sweet Southern Buttermilk Pie
Out of all of these baked pies on this list so far, if you’re like me, this buttermilk pie is what you’re most unfamiliar with. Buttermilk pie is made out of the pantry staples– sugar, eggs, flour. It tastes a lot like a layer of custard on top of a pie shell, which is probably why it tastes so good for something so simple!
Buttermilk pie is often confused with chess pie, but there is a slight difference between the two. Buttermilk pie, as it states in the name, uses buttermilk in its recipe; chess pie on the other hand does not! If you only have the basic pantry staples on hand, I would definitely make this Southern buttermilk pie for Pi Day.

10. No-Bake Oreo Dream Pie
Oreo Dream Pie is just one of those desserts that you’ll have to get a second slice of– it’s actually addicting. My sister made this no-bake Oreo pie for the first time not too long ago, and it didn’t even last a day in our house. Since then, the infamous Oreo Dream Pie has made occasional appearances, but never lasts very long in our house. It’s the perfect pie to make ahead of time, and enjoy later. That’s what makes this one of the best pies for Pi Day.

11. No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie
This is the ultimate peanut butter pie! It has a fluffy peanut butter filling that’s equally rich and creamy, and is topped with a handful of mini peanut butter cups and a drizzle of chocolate! If you’re the type of person who eats peanut butter from the jar with a spoon, you’re going to fall in love with this peanut butter pie. Calling all peanut butter lovers– make peanut butter pies for Pi Day!

12. No-Bake Fluffy Banana Cream Pie
Surely, I’ve told you about my family’s unusual obsession with banana cream desserts, right? Well if I haven’t, let me tell you– this banana cream pie wouldn’t even last an hour in my house. Sweet banana slices, crunchy vanilla wafer cookies, and creamy banana pudding filling are the components of this delicious banana cream pie. Out of this whole list of pies, there’s no doubt I will be making this banana cream pie as one of my pies for Pi Day at my house.

13. No-Bake Decadent French Silk Pie
French Silk Pie is essentially a rich chocolate pie with a bit of whipped cream on top. As simple as it sounds and as easy as it is to make, you’ll probably have people impressed with how delicious it is! Like a few others on this list of pies for Pi Day, this particular recipe features a classic Oreo crust, which adds a beautiful crunch factor to this decadent chocolate mousse pie. For those obsessed with chocolate, this no-bake pie is the one for you to make on Pi Day.

14. No-Bake Toasted Coconut Cream Pie
There’s no better smell than the smell of freshly toasted coconut coming out of the oven. The sweet fragrant smell makes you want to eat it, even if you don’t like shredded coconut. I didn’t like coconut at all when I started my first big time pastry job and I ended up falling in love with the smell.
This coconut cream pie is a no-bake recipe, uses those addicting golden Oreos for the crust, and is finished with sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut shreds. If you’re a coconut fan, you’ll have to try this easy coconut cream pie as one of your pies for Pi Day.

15. No-Bake Grasshopper Pie
If you enjoy mint chocolate chip ice cream or those Andes chocolates, you’ll fall in love with grasshopper pie. It’s a weird name, I know. This grasshopper pie recipe is so simple and shines a spotlight on the classic chocolate and mint flavor combination. This grasshopper pie is also one of this list’s incredible no-bake pies for Pi Day that can easily be made ahead of time.

16. No-Bake Millionaire Pie
This is one no-bake pie that I’d genuinely never heard before– this is a millionaire pie. A household favorite growing up in my family was always my grandmother’s ambrosia salad. If you’ve never had ambrosia, it’s a fluffy combination of fruit cocktail fruits, vanilla pudding, mini marshmallows, and whipped cream mixed up in a bowl. This millionaire pie is essentially that delicious ambrosia salad set in a graham cracker crust and topped with extra whipped cream and maraschino cherries for decoration. This millionaire pie recipe will only take 20 minutes to make which makes it a serious contender out of this list of pies for Pi Day.

17. No-Bake Creamy Lemon Pie
This no-bake lemon cream pie is luscious, lemony, and one of the easiest pies for Pi Day! One of the best things about this pie recipe is the fact that it only uses four ingredients. Just four ingredients! If you’re looking for a recipe that’s quick and can be thrown together in 15 minutes or less, this lemon cream pie is your answer.

18. No-Bake Rich Nutella Oreo Pie
I can remember making this Nutella Pie back when I was in high school. One of my classmates had written the recipe for this pie, Nutella was in absolutely everything back then (and still is now honestly), and I was obsessed. Similar to the other no-bake pies on this list, this nutella mousse pie has only five ingredients and can be made in a flash!
Another great feature of this Nutella pie recipe is the incorporation of a chocolate Oreo crust. The Nutella filling is rich and smooth, and the perfect contrast to that crunchy Oreo crust. It’s sure to be a favorite of the pies for Pi Day!
