I know I said I wanted to hold on to summer a bit longer, but honestly, I’m also looking forward to fall and all its wonderful flavors. For me, fall usually means our favorite food items become available in pumpkin flavor, and there’s nothing like warm drinks and the scent of apples and spice to really complement that nice chill in the air.
Pair those flavors with a silky cream pie, and you get an incredible Cinnamon Chai Cream Pie like the one posted by sprinkledwithflour. It has a graham cracker crust that’s kicked up with toasted hazelnuts and almonds, a cinnamon pudding filling, topped with chai-infused whipped cream.
In her blog post, she says the recipe was a “disaster turned delicious.” From where I’m standing, it looks like an absolute autumnal triumph.
Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Amber!

Has anyone made this pie?
I am making this pie today for a party tomorrow. I have read over the instructions several times and I am not sure if the whipped cream part can be frozen or if the pudding part can be thawed. I need to have this pie all put together in advance and ready to serve. Is that possible?

I searched everywhere for liquid chai concentrate in my Dillons (Kroger) this morning and couldn’t find it anywhere!:( I will try Walmart next, if they don’t have it, I’ll try Starbucks…if they don’t have it…I don’t know what to do!:(

Best thing about this pie is, use gluten free graham crackers or even better, just coconut, and the pie is gluten free! Yes!!!

Erika, your post has just made my day:) I have been out of commission in the kitchen with an extremely painful scratched cornea, and generally feeling sorry for myself. Seeing this post put a smile on my face though. Thanks!

OMG – that looks beyond fabulous! Cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors, especially when paired with Chai! My Starbucks drink of choice is a chai frappachino with cinnamon sprinkled on the whipped cream, so this dessert is screaming my name!!! I may have to make this as an alternative to pumpkin pie (which I don’t eat) this Thanksgiving! YUM!
(can I use that many !!’s in a single comment?)
