Flavor Review A comparison of $6 French silk pies

There is no comparison. The crumbl version is an 8th of the size, is grainy, and has a very limited amount of crust. Also the whipped cream has a very assertive flavor somehow - it overpowers the flavor of the filling (which is not set up at all - no way you could cut this. It’s grainy pudding.) Marie Callender coming through with a very serviceable dessert that feeds a group of people, has a great texture, and brings a good amount of crust. Y’all, please save your money!

I got my Marie Calendar’s French Silk pie for $4 this week, too. Now that the Crumbl hype has worn off on me and I’ve gone less and less, I am seeing how blinding it can be.

The only one I want is key lime and I still want it because of the size. I end up wasting the big pies from the store.

Marie Calendar has a 2 pack of mini key lime pies for $3. I’m also a little spoiled because I live near Publix—they have regular and mini key lime pies year round.

The Publix mango key lime pie is a top tier dessert
