 Frozen Bananas Foster Ice Cream Pie


 Ingredients

1 recipe Pecan Shortbread Crust, recipe follows
4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 ripe bananas, peeled and cut lengthwise into halves
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/2 cup dark rum (recommended: Myers's)
1 quart cream
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 recipe Caramel Sauce, for serving, recipe follows


 Directions

Prepare the Pecan Shortbread Crust and set aside to cool.

In a large saute pan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the bananas and baste them with the syrup for 2 minutes. Pull the saute pan off the burner. Carefully add the banana liqueur and rum. Place the pan back on the stove and shake the pan a couple of times. The pan should flame, if not, ignite the pan with a long match. Shake the pan back and forth until the flame dies, basting the bananas continuously with a long handled spoon. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add the banana mixture and puree until smooth. Set aside.

In another saucepan, add the cream and bring to a gentle boil. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until pale yellow. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture and mix thoroughly. In a steady stream, slowly add the egg-cream mixture to the hot cream remaining in the saucepan. Continue to cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Whisk the banana puree into the cream mixture and mix thoroughly. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill thoroughly. Process in an electric ice cream machine according to manufacturers' instructions.

When the ice cream has frozen to the desired consistency, transfer to the springform pan with the cooled shortbread crust and, using a spatula, spread to form a smooth surface. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours and up to 4 days.

When ready to serve, transfer the ice cream pie to the refrigerator for 20 minutes or so to thaw a little so that it is easier to slice. Serve slices drizzled with the caramel sauce.

Pecan Shortbread Crust:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Lightly butter the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Sift the flour and salt into a medium-mixing bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture and continue mixing only until the flour is just incorporated. Add the nuts and mix until just combined.

Using your fingers, press the dough so that it forms a smooth layer covering the entire surface of the springform pan bottom and slightly up the sides. Using the tines of a fork, prick the pastry all over at regular intervals, pressing all the way through to the bottom. Press the tines of the fork all around the outer edges of the pan. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Bake the shortbread until it is pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool the shortbread on a wire rack until completely cool.

Caramel Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup whole milk
Combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium heavy saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let boil without stirring until the mixture becomes a deep amber color, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Add the cream (be careful; it will bubble up), whisk to combine, and remove from the heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, then add up to 2 more tablespoons, until the desired consistency is reached. Let cool until just warm before serving. (The sauce will thicken as it cools.)

Macadamia Nut Cream Pie

 Ingredients

For the crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening

For the filling:
1 3/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup salted macadamia nuts, finely chopped
2 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped

For the topping:
3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup salted macadamia nuts
2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

 Directions

Make the crust: Pulse the flour, coconut and salt in a food processor until the coconut is finely chopped. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together (add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, if necessary). Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate the crust until firm, about 15 minutes. Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until golden all over, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat 1 1/2 cups milk and the macadamia nuts in a medium saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). Whisk the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, vanilla and the remaining 1/4 cup milk in a bowl until combined. Gradually whisk half of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then pour back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and just begins to boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the white chocolate until smooth. Transfer the filling to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Once the filling is cool, bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk the egg whites and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over the pan (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm. Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a hand mixer until the egg whites are glossy and stiff, about 5 minutes. Fold the beaten egg whites into the filling, then spread in the prepared crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.

Just before serving, make the whipped cream for topping: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar with a mixer until medium peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe around the edge of the pie. Top with the macadamia nuts and toasted coconut.

Black Bottom Pie

 Ingredients

30 chocolate wafer cookies (about 22 Oreo cookies, white middle removed, or about 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookie crumbs)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons white rum
1 tablespoon water
1 envelope plain unflavored gelatin
2 cups milk
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

 Directions

Chocolate shavings, for garnish, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the chocolate wafer cookies in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs. Add the sugar and butter and process until thoroughly combined. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9 1/2-inch pie pan and press firmly onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

In a small bowl combine the rum, water and gelatin. Stir and set aside until gelatin has softened, about 5 minutes.

In a saucepan combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch and stir or whisk until thoroughly combined. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture. Stir until smooth, then transfer 1 cup of the hot mixture to a clean mixing bowl and add the chocolate morsels. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Transfer the chocolate mixture to the cooled crust and refrigerate, lightly covered, for 30 minutes. (Allow the remaining warm custard mixture to continue cooling on the counter in the interim.)

After 30 minutes have passed, add the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to a medium mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Remove 1 cup of the whipped cream and add it to the remaining custard mixture. Fold to combine, then spread gently on top of the first layer in the pie crust. Top with the remaining whipped cream and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled and set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

When ready to serve, garnish the pie with chocolate curls and cut into slices. Serve cold.

Sugar Cream Pie

 Ingredients

For the crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening

For the filling:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg


 Directions

Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together (add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, if necessary). Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk; wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate the crust until firm, about 30 minutes.

Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Make the filling: Whisk the heavy whipping cream, sugar, flour and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into the chilled crust, dot with the butter and sprinkle the nutmeg on top. Carefully transfer the pie plate to the hot baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly in spots, about 55 more minutes (the center will still jiggle slightly); cover the crust edges with foil if they're browning too quickly. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Chocolate Banana Ice Cream Pie

 Ingredients

Chocolate Fudge Sauce:
1/2 cup very hot brewed coffee
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Vanilla Ice Cream:
1 vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar, divided
7 large eggs yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Wafer Crust:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
30 chocolate wafers (enough to make 1 1/2 cups crumbs)

Chocolate-dipped Frozen Banana Bonbons:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 bananas, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Forks
1/2 cup chopped peanuts or toasted coconut


 Directions

Chocolate Fudge Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coffee, sugar and cocoa. Whisk in the corn syrup until all the sugar crystals are dissolved and the mixture is completely smooth. Place the chocolate and butter in a large, dry bowl or in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water. When the chocolate has melted, whisk in the coffee-cocoa mixture until smooth and blended. The sauce is best if left to ripen for a full day before serving. Store in a sealed container. This sauce will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.

Vanilla Ice Cream: Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds. Put the seeds, pod halves, milk, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Bring just to the simmering point over low heat (it will wriggle in the pot). In the meantime, combine the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk until just blended. While gently whisking the yolks, drizzle the hot cream mixture into them so that they are gradually warmed up. Return everything to the saucepan and cook while stirring with a wooden spoon. Make sure that you are constantly scraping the spoon across the bottom of the pan so the custard does not scorch. The custard is done when it has thickened slightly and can evenly coat the back of the spoon. Do not let it come to a boil. Strain the custard through a fine sieve. Press out all the liquid in the vanilla beans and nestle the container holding the custard into a large bowl of ice. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Transfer the custard to an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Put the finished ice cream in a storage container and freeze until firm.

Make sure the fudge sauce has been in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to thicken. If the ice cream is very hard, let it soften in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. Shmoosh and spread the fudge sauce in ribbons through the ice cream. Take care not to let the sauce blend into the ice cream. Refreeze until hard.

Chocolate Wafer Crust: Coat a 9-inch pie pan with 2 teaspoons of the butter. In a food processor, chop the chocolate wafers into fine crumbs. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in the rest of the melted butter. Pat the mixture over the bottom and sides of the pan. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Banana Bonbons: Melt the chocolate in a completely dry bowl or in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water. Pierce each banana chunk with a fork. Dunk first into chocolate to coat, then into the peanuts or coconut. Set on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet, and freeze for 2 hours or overnight. For maximum flavor, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Fill the crust with the vanilla fudge ice cream, top with bonbons and serve.

Ultimate Pumpkin Pie

 Ingredients

For the crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
5 teaspoons sugar
Salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the filling and topping:
1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Salt
3 large eggs, plus 1 egg white
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup fresh cranberries, or frozen, thawed and drained
1 2.3-ounce package amaretti cookies (about 12)


 Directions

Make the crust: Combine the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work in 3 tablespoons ice water until the dough holds together without being too sticky. If it's still crumbly, add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into an 11- to 12-inch circle with a floured rolling pin. Ease into a 9-inch pie pan; press firmly into the bottom and sides. Trim the excess dough, then pinch the edges. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 375. Make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin in a bowl with the butter and a pinch of salt. Whisk in 3 eggs and the sugar.

Stir in the cream, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Lightly beat the egg white, then brush onto the pastry edges. Carefully place the pie on the preheated baking sheet, lower the oven temperature to 325 and bake until the pie is set but still jiggles slightly, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely.

Meanwhile, make the topping: Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes; cool. With a knife or food processor, coarsely chop the pecans, cranberries and cookies; sprinkle over the cooled pie.

 Amaretto Pumpkin Pie With Almond Praline


 Ingredients

For the Dough:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup crumbled amaretto cookies (about 10 cookies)
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

For the Filling:
1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Praline:
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/8 teaspoon salt



 Directions

Make the dough: Pulse the flour, cookies and salt in a food processor until the cookies are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 1/4 cup ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Turn out into a 9-inch glass pie plate (not deep dish) and press into the bottom and up the sides about 1/4 inch above the rim. Pierce all over with a fork and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is golden all over, 10 to 15 more minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

Make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin, cream, sugar, eggs, liqueur, nutmeg, vanilla and salt in a bowl. Pour into the crust and bake until the edges are set but the center still quivers, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

Meanwhile, make the praline: Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and brush with vegetable oil. Stir the sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until amber, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the almonds and salt. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it as thinly as possible with a rubber spatula. Cool completely.

Coarsely chop or break the praline and sprinkle over the pie right before serving.

Pina Colada Key Lime Pie

 Ingredients

Crust:
8 ounces graham crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup brown sugar

Filling:
16 ounces heavy whipping cream, very cold
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh diced pineapple (about the size of a pea), juice drained
1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted
4 ounces Key lime juice (not Persian lime or lemon)
1/4 cup coconut chips, toasted, for garnish


 Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the crust: Combine the graham crumbs, butter, honey, and brown sugar in a bowl. Do not over mix as it will make the crust tough.

Evenly spread the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie tin or glass pie dish. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and let rest.

For the filling: Combine the cold whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla and whip, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, until peaks form.

Combine the sweetened condensed milk, diced pineapple, shredded coconut, and 4 ounces of the whipped cream mixture in a 6-quart mixing bowl and whisk well. (Place the balance of the whipped cream mixture in the fridge to keep it stiff.) Once well incorporated, slowly add the Key lime juice in intervals, do not add all at once. The juice will have a chemical reaction with the cream, causing it to thicken. Do not over mix as it will break down the mixture, causing it to become runny. The mixture will begin to thicken (you want it thick).

Once the crust has cooled, spoon the pie filling into the center of the crust and spread evenly towards the edges with a pastry knife or the spoon. Place into the fridge for 2 hours to completely set up.

Fill a pastry bag 1/2 way and squeeze dollops of the remaining whipped cream around the border of the cooled pie. Sprinkle coconut chips on top of the whipped cream border. Make a pot of coffee, cut the pie into your desired portion size, and sit down and enjoy!

1egg
FILLING
2 ccool whip
1/2 cpowdered sugar
3/4 cpeanut butter
TOPPING
4chopped reese cups
1/2 chot fudge ice cream topping

 

Directions

1
 Preheat oven to 350. Grease a spring form pan or a pie pan with butter.
2
 Melt Butter and mix with brownie mix add egg and make sure all ingredients are incorporated.
3
 Bake in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. It will be still wet. Let cool for about 20 minutes and with butter finger tips press the brownie to make a rim in the pie pan or the spring form pan.(make sure it is not cooled to much, but definately wait till it cools somewhat or you will burn your fingertips off). At this point it should look like a pie crust. I left it completely cool in my spring form pan and then just slid it off onto a plate. If you are using a pie pan you can just leave it in the pan.
4
 While the crust is cooling after you have formed it into a pie crust, cream together the powdered sugar and the peanut butter, then add the cool whip and with a whisk incorporate the cool whip. The mixture will be very thick, but very tasty;)
5
 With a spatula fill the crust with the pie. Take the 4 peanut butter cups and chop them in to little pieces(freeze them first it makes it much easier). Sprinkle the chopped reese cups pieces on top of the filling.
6
 I used two tablespoonfuls of smuckers hot fudge sundae topping and put it into the microwave for about 30 seconds then drizzled it over the top of the peanut butter pieces and filling.
7
 Place a piece of plastic over the pie and freeze for about 3 hours.
