With the help of store-bought pie dough, you can easily recreate this whimsically delicious Easter Bunny Pie in the shake of a cottontail...so you'd better hop to it!

The inspiration:

As I've written about before, most times, I get the best ideas for my recipes as I lay wide awake in bed in the middle of the night. It's a blessing (and a curse) as my mind races with all sorts of food images playing through my brain at a rabbit's pace. See what I did there? Ha! Ha!

Sometimes I'll write my ideas down in a little note pad that I keep on the nightstand, and other times the ideas are so strong that I know I'll never forget them.

Many times, I almost want to hop (LOL, there I go again) out of bed and start cooking and baking right there in the middle of the night (I have yet to do that, but don't put it past me).

This was entirely the case with the Easter Bunny Pie, but at least I waited until morning to set up my video equipment and start baking.

Store-bought or homemade pie crust? You be the judge!

I've used two types of store-bought pie crusts in the making of this recipe.

The bottom crust is the pre-formed deep dish pie crust that you can find in the freezer section of the grocery store, and for the bunny himself, I used the pre-rolled flat pie crust that is found in the refrigerated section near the canned pop-out biscuits. You know the ones.

Of course, should you choose to make your own pie crust for this Easter Bunny Pie, I certainly wouldn't discourage you. Just remember to make enough for a top and bottom crust.

What to do with the leftover scraps of dough:

Sprinkle the leftover crust you'll have after cutting out the bunny with cinnamon and sugar. Place them on a baking tray, and then bake until golden. It's a great way to use up the remaining pieces of dough without wasting them.

My dad always used to call the scraps made this way "crust pie," and I believe it was always his favorite part of any pie.

I know, I know. How in the world can you take a knife and cut into this cute little bunny? Well, if you'll notice from the photo above, I cut between his ears. I couldn't do it either. LOL. Actually, I could, but for the sake of the photo, I thought it would make a better picture to slice there, instead of through his cute little triangle shaped nose.

And, as we all know the first slice of pie never is the prettiest (it's some sort of weird pie and pancake phenomenon) I felt I needed to cut unto this Easter Bunny Pie so you could see all that delectable coconut and melted chocolate tucked away inside. Be still my rabbit heartbeat. Whoops! I did it again!

Now, wouldn't this be the perfect ending to your Easter dinner? Save room because you're going to want a piece of this Easter Bunny Pie!
