7 Frozen and Chilled Pies You Should Try This Summer

Pies have been making a comeback, especially with more people spending time at home in recent years. Now as the world returns to business as usual, leaving little time for baking, the delicious homemade taste of seasonal pies (and the sweet aroma) can still be enjoyed with frozen pies! 

Whether you are planning a sit-down family meal, attending a summer BBQ, or heading to an overdue large family reunion, bringing a pie, or two, will surely be a hit!

Why Choose Our Frozen Pies?

For frozen pies in Vaughan, look no further than Bartholomew Bakery! Each ingredient we use for our scrumptious pies are handpicked for freshness and the absolute best taste! We are proud to blend the European café experience with Canadian products.  

How to Bake a Frozen Pie

Baking a frozen pie is very similar to baking a freshly-made pie. The only difference is that you’ll need to bake it longer than usual. 

For our individual vegetarian and individual meat pies, preheat the oven to 385˚F and place the pie on the middle oven rack for 35-45 minutes. Allow the pie to sit for 15 minutes before serving. 

To bake frozen fruit pies and crumbles, preheat the oven to 385˚F before placing the pie on the middle oven rack. Bake for 65-80 minutes. The pie is ready when the juice thickens, and the filling slightly rises. Allow the pie to sit for about 90 minutes before cutting and serving. Your patience will be rewarded.

Keep cream pies and cheesecakes frozen until needed. Place them into the refrigerator the night before it will be served. Serve them straight from the fridge.

Frozen and Chilled Pies for Summer

Our frozen and chilled pies are available in a variety of flavours all summer! From the season’s favourite strawberry pies to perfectly tart lemon pies, there is a pie for everyone. Our selection of pies will always be up to date on our website. Bartholomew Bakery offers a range of incredible frozen pies, including: 

Vanilla x Hazelnut Cheesecake

A favourite is our delectable vanilla cheesecake topped with a hazelnut praline. This light and creamy cheesecake boasts a mild hazelnut praline flavour perfectly kissed with vanilla. The intense flavouring adds to the texture that tickles the roof of your mouth. 

Strawberry Crumble Pie 

Imagine strawberries tossed in Madagascar vanilla, lemon zest, sugar, and strawberry concentrate topped with crumble. Sounds exquisite, doesn’t it? We bake and freeze this ultimate dessert for you to enjoy at any time of the day and week.

Spanakopita

For an extraordinary treat, try our Spanakopita. With spinach, ricotta, feta, and roasted garlic wrapped in pie dough, this savoury Greek pie is topped with sesame seeds. The crispy layers and spinach filling make for an appealing side dish or as it’s own vegetarian main meal. 

Savoyard Potato & Smoked Emmental 

Bartholomew’s Savoyard potato & smoked Emmental pie is a fabulous French dish that is a modern take on the traditional potato gratin. The layered potatoes, caramelized onions, and smoked Emmental are joined with a cream sauce. Originating from Switzerland, Emmental cheese is a yellow hard cheese that boasts a mild savoury taste. 

Coconut Cream Pie 

A fan favourite, our coconut cream pie is created with a homemade creamy thick coconut filling on a flaky pie crust. The taste of pure vanilla with sweet, whipped cream and toasted coconut topping makes this pie one of our quick sellers.
