Now we know you don’t really need a reason to indulge, but it’s Pi Day, so why not treat yourself for the occasion? From creamy dreamy coconut to a truly Texan Frito pie, celebrate the day as big and as bold as the mathematical constant itself. Find the recipes here!
Chocolate Bourbon Praline Pecan Pie
This Southern staple usually adorns your Thanksgiving table, but why limit a pie’s seasonality — especially when chocolate, bourbon and pecans are involved. This isn’t like your grandma’s recipe either. At Harold’s, this rich pie is kicked up with a generous shot of bourbon and is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The famous New Mexican chile is added to the mix of this Mexican mainstay. Layered with warm flour tortillas, shredded chicken, roasted chiles and cheddar cheese, this recipe from Central Market will be your new favorite way to eat enchiladas.
Coconut Cream Pie
Blue Bonnet Cafe celebrates pie pretty much every day — it has a pie happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. This Coconut Cream Pie is the top seller, but if you can’t make it to Marble Falls, try this classic recipe at home. It’s so addictive, you’ll want two pieces.
Frito Pie
Gooey cheddar cheese, salty corn chips and my spicy meaty chili come together in this simple yet oh-so-satisfying “pie.” While the origins of the Frito Pie remain unknown, we know this “walkin’ taco” holds a special place in many Texans’ hearts.
Key Lime Pie
Light and refreshing, this Key Lime Pie from Buttermilk Cafe is perfect for spring. Full of fresh lime flavor from the lime juice and zest, you’ll be wishing you were beachside in Florida with an ice cold margarita to match.
