Share This: Turn your Kentucky Derby party into a grand slam with a piece of this pie!
Chef Horseradish knows how to make you the hostess with the mostest for your Kentucky Derby bash! He’s whipped up a tasty desert that is quite similar to the pie associated with the Kentucky Derby. Horseradish has a recipe with 8 simple ingredients that can be put together and baked in under an hour. No matter where you watch the KY Derby, everyone wins with this pie. Let’s see how he does it.
Before he gathers his friends he gathers his ingredients. Regular bakers are bound to have these items on hand. If not, it will take a quick trip to the grocery to purchase the 8 common and inexpensive ingredients. Butter, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, walnuts, semi sweet chocolate chips and a pie crust are all that you will need.Horseradish likes to butter up his friends so they give him the best tips. I guess we can Justify that behavior.Don’t let it Flameaway. Heat it just enough to melt 1/2 cup, equivalent to a stick, of butter.It only takes a cup of sugar for this pie. You’ll need the rest of the entire bag if your planning on serving Mint Juleps, the official drink of the KY Derby. The pie is great, the drink is, well, not so good. Trust me, you’ll be wanting more sugar in those drinks!The official flower of the Kentucky Derby is red roses. It takes over 400 fresh roses to sew the Garland of Roses that goes to the winning horse annually. The official flour in the pie is all-purpose.Free Drop Billy the eggs into a bowl and give them a good beating with the whisk.There isn’t anything vanilla about this field of KY Derby contenders. What a great group of 3 year-old Thoroughbreds! However, the pie needs a teaspoon of vanilla extract to work it’s Good Magic! The magic is in how the awful tasting extract makes such good tasting baked goods.To get 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts just put a few in the chopper at a time and don’t get Combatant about it. Just lightly chop or you will get dust instead of pieces.My Boy Jack Horseradish loves chocolate. No wonder this pie is so rich and delicious.
Whisking up the pie that will have all your KY Derby guest’s Promises Fulfilled!
My betting strategy is full of holes. Just like this crust!
It rained bunches for the 2017 KY Derby. The track got down right sloppy. Don’t worry about the pie. This sloppy start will bake up nicely.
Wrap the edges of the crust with foil so it doesn’t look like it was burnt up in a Firenze Fire.
Bake the pie and…
The winner of the 144th Kentucky Derby is…Horeradish! Serving up slices of this pie at your next party is bound to make you a winner too!

Share This: Horseradish loves a good reuben on St. Patrick’s Day!
Top o’ the morning to ya! Happy St. Patrick’s Day. For this holiday, Horseradish, Thoroughbred U’s regular chef, we will be keeping it easy and making reubens. I love a good reuben and I eat them regularly at Keeneland racecourse and at a variety of Irish themed bars. Many restaurants add it to their menu for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. The sandwich isn’t in fact Irish, it’s all American but it’s all good and a fun and easy way to celebrate the day. Turn on the television and watch 2 Kentucky Derby prep races and some March Madness Basketball with a reuben, chips and a green frosty beverage. Horseradish will show you how it is done.
