Erica Sinclair’s Knockout Pie Recipe From Stranger Things

I Love Stranger Things

Hello Stranger Things fans. Today I am making Erica Sinclair’s Knockout Pie inspired by Season 5 of Stranger Things. Ever since Season 5 came out, I’ve been so addicted to Stranger Things that I just can’t stop thinking or talking about it.

If you’re a fan of Hawkins, clever schemes, or just love good pie, this one’s for you. Perfect for watch parties, themed events, or just because Erica always gets what she wants.

If I see pie on the table, I already know I’m getting a slice. Probably more than one. When I saw Erica make Knockout Pie on Stranger Things, I knew I had to try it. It looked rich, creamy, and full of flavor — and after making it myself, I can say it definitely lives up to the hype.

This pie is smooth, comforting, and packed with warm spices that make it perfect for any time of year. It’s one of those desserts that looks impressive, but it’s actually simple to make. Every time I serve it, people ask for the recipe.

FYI

A couple of items I’d like to point out about this recipe:

• Erica, Lucas’s sister, created this episode for Tina in Season 5 of Stranger Things since Tina was looking after the kids and thwarting their plan.
• The pie let Erica distract and knock her out temporarily the group can escape.
• This version is safe, real-life dessert—no sedatives, just big flavor and Stranger Things vibes.
• Use unsalted butter so you can control how much salt goes into the recipe.
• The cinnamon and nutmeg give this pie its warm, comforting flavor. Don’t skip them.
• Let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner slices.
• This pie is rich, so a small slice already gets you into a food coma.
• Make sure to watch the ending of Stranger Things because it will blow your mind.
