Recipe Pro Tips

  • Piping Bag Tip: If you don’t have a piping bag, use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  • Cooling the Crusts: Ensure the crusts are completely cool before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Even Filling: Use a small ice cream scoop or melon baller for even filling distribution.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, these pie bites can be made a day in advance. Just keep them refrigerated until ready to serve.

Can I use regular lemonade instead of concentrate? The concentrate provides a stronger flavor, but you can use regular lemonade if you reduce the other liquids slightly.

Do I have to use food coloring? No, the food coloring is optional. It’s mainly for visual appeal.
