10 Mother’s Day Pies That Are As Sweet As Mom Herself
Show Mom you care with some home-baked goodness.
There are endless ways to celebrate Mother’s Day, but for a holiday as sweet as Mom, Grandma, or any other motherly figure in your life, dessert is a must. If you’re hosting Mother’s Day brunch, lunch, or dinner, topping off your table with a pretty pie is the perfect centerpiece. Since Mother’s Day generally takes place in mid-May, fresh, fruity flavors that taste like the spring season are no-brainers: tangy strawberry rhubarb, zesty lemon meringue or orange. But our list of the best Mother’s Day pies also features a couple denser (and equally crowd-pleasing) options like a decadent Oreo pie and Ree Drummond’s famous chocolate pie, which happens to be her husband’s all-time favorite dessert.
Whether you’re craving a refreshingly cool treat or a warm, gooey slice fresh from the oven, these Mother’s Day pies will look so beautiful on display, thanks to dreamy whipped layers, impressive latticework finishes, and fun garnishes. Aside from their show-stopping appearance, these pies have a bakery-worthy taste that’s also unmatched—and that’ll have everyone at the table asking for a second slice. But the best part might just be how easy they are to whip up. Some are oven-baked, which means your kitchen appliance will do most of the work, while others function as no-bake pies, so you can prep them the night before and serve them straight from the fridge.
In need of more ideas? These Mother’s Day pies will be the star of your spring celebration. And if you’re building a dessert bar, add other Mother’s Day desserts such as Mother’s Day cookies and Mother’s Day cakes to your spread!

Chocolate Pie
Obviously, Ladd’s favorite dessert, Ree’s dreamy chocolate pie, deserves a shoutout. The graham cracker crust is piled high with silky chocolate pudding that tastes so good, Ladd doesn’t add any toppings. But if you want to doctor it up, shaved chocolate or whipped cream will do the trick.
