Created by Paige Delany and featured on Spoon University, the dessert is transformed by a sometimes nightmarish alcohol. The [George Washington University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pill-camera) student used the single crust pie dough as the base for a [pecan pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-thanksgiving-pies) and a dark chocolate peppermint whipped cream pie. The vodka pie crust recipe calls for ingredients such as all-purpose flour, chilled vodka, ice water, salt, sugar, unsalted butter and vegetable shortening. You can either do a partially cooked for fully cooked pie crust with this recipe. You could try this crust with an eggnog pie, latticed apple pie or a butterscotch mousse pie. It's definitely a crowd-pleaser during the holiday season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alcoholic Dessert Recipes:** Opportunity to create innovative dessert recipes that incorporate alcohol, appealing to those with a sweet tooth and a love for booze. - **Creative Pie Crust Variations:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing unique and flavorful pie crust recipes using unexpected ingredients like alcohol. - **Mixology-inspired Baking:** Opportunity to combine the art of mixology with baking by infusing alcoholic elements into baked goods, creating exciting flavor profiles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative use of alcohol in dessert recipes creates new opportunities for the food and beverage industry to cater to the intersection of boozy and sweet treats. - **Hospitality and Restaurants:** Restaurants and hospitality businesses can capitalize on the trend of alcoholic pie crusts by offering unique dessert options and alcohol-infused pastries. - **Home Baking and Recipe Development:** Home bakers and recipe developers can explore the trend of alcoholic pie crusts to create exciting and indulgent dessert experiences in the comfort of their own kitchens. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Natural Pizza Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-vodka.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Pastry Doughs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-pie-pastry-dough.md) - [Boozy Baked Apple Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boozy-baked-apple-pie.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Vodka Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-english-drinks-distillery.md) - [Boozy Holiday Whipped Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whipshots-peppermint.md) - [Branded Homemade Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodka-lime-and-soda.md) - [Whisky-Infused Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-infused-pies.md) - [Martini-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-flavored-ice-cream.md) - [Autumnal Boozy Whipped Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-whipshots.md)
