I "think" this is the answer, I finally got there by using two candy hammers in the end. This is what worked for me and may be the secret:

1. Woked on the pie segments to start with (as normal)..

2. ...Kept and eye for opportunities to hit the centre block.

3. Broke all the segments of 1 pie to clear the board.

4. Worked on the second pie, still hitting the centre block, whenever possible.

5. I had a lucky break at this point and matched a colourbomb and a stripe (this wouldn't necessarily help without some luck!).

6. After combining the stripe and bomb was left with all only single grey block holding up the two ingredients and 2 segments left of the second pie. I can't remember if the central block was completely clear at this point or if I had a grey block. Either way it doesn't matter.

7. Broke the last 2 segments of the second pie (with the hammers), the two ingredients fell through with nothing in the way to block them. I could have got away without using the hammers had there been opportunities to have hit the segments through normal moves.

Taking everything into account, apart from luck, it is necessary to have hot to the pont where onlt grey blocks remain at the point of detonating the second pie. It's not good if any of the centre block remains.

Hope this helps, sorry it's long-winded but at least some of it might help others.
