Maraca pie, also known asdevil's rice pie, is a Floridian dessert pie made fromsticky rice pudding andbananas inside a pastry base. Some versions of the recipe also include various different spices or fruits. It was created in 1957 by the Moline brothers ofTallahassee, Berham and Jackson.
Its name derives from the shape of the bakery's first tin, which was bent out of shape after Jackson dropped it onto the floor, giving it a shape reminiscent of amaraca.[1] Because of this, bakeries around the city sell this pie forquinceañeras.[1]
