A Funny Family Story: The Infamous Kahlua Pie

I’ve got a funny family story to share with you today.

When my family moved to the U.S. when I was 7, we only had one relative, our dad’s aunt Nelly. She let all 5 of us live with her and her family while we were looking for a home.

When we finally moved to a new house, my mom invited aunt Nelly to visit. To show her gratitude, she baked Nelly’s favorite Kahlua Pie (a recipe she’d written down from Nelly).

She cut into the pie and served everyone a piece. Nelly took a bite and said, “Oh it’s good! … How long did you cook it for?”

My mom gave Nelly a confused look and replied “Cook it?”

She hadn’t taken note of that final step and thought it just hardened in the fridge. So unknowingly, she served us all a completely raw pie!

Everyone had to put their slices back in the pan after that.

Decades later, we still laugh about that raw Kahlua Pie!

Here’s the recipe handwritten by my mom (note the missing cook time 😂 ) :
