CRUST LAYER:

Crush vanilla wafers to equal 2 cups.

Add the melted stick of butter.

Mix in 1 cup of chopped pecans.

Save about eight tablespoons of the crust mixture to top the dessert.

Add the pie crust mixture in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan OR 8 individual ramekins. (see my video)

Bake the crust 10 to 15 minutes and allow to completely cool.

CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:

Mix the lemon juice, condensed milk, and the cream cheese.

Once the crust has completely cooled, add the cream cheese mixture evenly on the pie or divide evenly between the eight ramekins.

When you are ready to eat this dessert, add your favorite pie filling to the top.

Garnish with a little Cool Whip and about 1 Tablespoon of reserved crust to the ramekins.

Subtly flavoured with Indian spices and topped with nutritious sweet potato, this recipe takes shepherd’s pie to a whole new level – plus this version can be ready in under 40 minutes, making it a brilliant choice for busy weeknights.

Curried Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Mash Topping

potatoes

salt

Black pepper

onion (diced)

500 g lamb mince

garlic (crushed

cm fresh ginger (grated)

dried chilli flakes ((or

cumin seeds

turmeric

garam masala

tomatoes

Salt and pepper

Your favourite vegetables ((I served mine with peas))

Your favourite pickles and chutneys ((Mango chutney would be very good here!))

Put the sweet potato chunks into a large saucepan and pour over enough boiling water to cover, bring back to the boil and then simmer for 15 minutes until the sweet potato is tender. Drain and mash with a little salt and pepper.

While the sweet potato is cooking, put the oil in a wide, shallow grill proof pan (I used a cast iron sauté pan) and add the onions, fry on a low heat with the lid on for 3 minutes until softened.

Remove the lid and turn up the heat. Add the lamb mince and brown for 3 minutes, then turn the heat back down again and add the garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin, turmeric and garam masala, cook for a further 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn your grill on to medium-high to heat up.

Remove the mince from the heat and spread the mashed sweet potato over the top – place under the pre-heated grill for 10 minutes until nicely browned on top. If your grill is a bit uneven, the pie might need to be turned around after 5 minutes to ensure even browning.

While the shepherd’s pie is under the grill, quickly cook your peas (or whatever vegetable you are having to accompany your shepherd’s pie).

When the pie is nicely browned on top, serve with the veggies and any pickles or chutneys you like.

Making pie dough from scratch shouldn't be scary. This foolproof recipe uses a food processor to make a dough that's easy to work with and bakes up beautifully.

Easy Pie Dough Recipe

(12.5 ounces; 350 grams) all-purpose flour

(25 grams) sugar

(5 grams) kosher salt

(10 ounces; 280 grams) unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pats

(3 ounces; 85 milliliters) cold water

Combine two thirds of flour with sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse twice to incorporate. Spread butter chunks evenly over surface. Pulse until no dry flour remains and dough just begins to collect in clumps, about 25 short pulses. Use a rubber spatula to spread the dough evenly around the bowl of the food processor. Sprinkle with remaining flour and pulse until dough is just barely broken up, about 5 short pulses. Transfer dough to a large bowl.

Sprinkle with water then using a rubber spatula, fold and press dough until it comes together into a ball. Divide ball in half. Form each half into a 4-inch disk. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before rolling and baking.

A sprinkle of vodka and a good food processor are key to this foolproof pie dough.

Cook's Illustrated's Foolproof Pie Dough Recipe

(12 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

table salt

sugar

(1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter,

vegetable shortening,

vodka

water

Process 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about 2 one-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogeneous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 15 seconds (dough will resemble cottage cheese curds and there should be no uncoated flour). Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl. 

Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Divide dough into two even balls and flatten each into 4-inch disk. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.

Cook's Illustrated's Pumpkin Pie Recipe

For the crust:

(6 1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

(3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter,

vodka (see note)

For the filling:

heavy cream

milk

eggs

vanilla extract

pumpkin puree

yams

maple syrup

ginger

cinnamon

nutmeg

For the crust: Process 3/4 cup flour, salt, and sugar in food processor until combined, about two 1-second pulses. Add butter and shortening and process until homogenous dough just starts to collect in uneven clumps, about 10 seconds; dough will resemble cottage cheese curds with some very small pieces of butter remaining, but there should be no uncoated flour. Scrape bowl with rubber spatula and redistribute dough evenly around processor blade. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour and pulse until mixture is evenly distributed around bowl and mass of dough has been broken up, 4 to 6 quick pulses. Empty mixture into medium bowl.

Sprinkle vodka and water over mixture. With rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix, pressing down on dough until dough is slightly tacky and sticks together. Flatten dough into 4-inch disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days.

Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 400°F. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out on generously floured (up to 1/4 cup) work surface to 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin and unroll into pie plate, leaving at least 1-inch overhang on each side. Working around circumference, ease dough into plate by gently lifting edge of dough with one hand while pressing into plate bottom with other hand. Refrigerate 15 minutes.

Trim overhang to 1/2 inch beyond lip of pie plate. Fold overhang under itself; folded edge should be flush with edge of pie plate. Using thumb and forefinger, flute edge of dough. Refrigerate dough-lined plate until firm, about 15 minutes.

Remove pie pan from refrigerator, line crust with foil, and fill with pie weights or pennies. Bake on rimmed baking sheet 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights, rotate plate, and bake 5 to 10 additional minutes until crust is golden brown and crisp. Remove pie plate and baking sheet from oven.

For the filling: While pie shell is baking, whisk cream, milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla together in medium bowl. Combine pumpkin puree, yams, sugar, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in large heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to sputtering simmer over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Continue to simmer pumpkin mixture, stirring constantly and mashing yams against sides of pot, until thick and shiny, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and whisk in cream mixture until fully incorporated. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl, using back of ladle or spatula to press solids through strainer. Rewhisk mixture and transfer to warm prebaked pie shell. Return pie plate with baking sheet to oven and bake pie for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300°F and continue baking until edges of pie are set (instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 175 degrees), 20 to 35 minutes longer. Transfer pie to wire rack and cool to room temperature, 2 to 3 hours. Cut into wedges and serve.

Gently lay the rolled-out pie crust in a 10-inch (25-cm) pie dish. Trim the excess dough around the sides.

Tuck the dough under the edge, and crimp the edges using the index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on your other hand. Chill in the refrigerator for 14-20 minutes.

Make the filling: Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to a medium bowl and mix until combined.

Spread the pumpkin puree mixture onto a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until it looks slightly dried out.

Increase the oven temperature to 400˚F (200˚C).

Scrape the puree into a large bowl and add the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, egg yolk, and half-and-half. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

After chilling the crust, crumple a piece of parchment paper, then spread it out in the center of the crust. Add dried chickpeas or baking beans to the center and spread toward the sides of the crust--this will add weight to keep the crust from puffing up and hold up the walls.

Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, until slightly golden and there are no raw doughy spots.

Increase the oven temperature to 425˚F (220˚C).

Pour the filling into the prebaked crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash.

Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes more, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.

Let cool at room temp for at least 2 hours, or in the fridge overnight.

Here's what you need: granny smith apple, brown sugar, fine salt, ground cinnamon, fresh lemon juice, cornstarch, water, unsalted butter, premade pie crusts, egg wash, sanding sugar

Apple Pie (Macerated) Recipe by Tasty

Peel and thinly slice the apples (keep the apples in a bowl of lemon water as you go to keep them from browning).

In a large bowl, toss the apples with the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice, and half of the cornstarch. Once the apples are well coated, let sit and macerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the apples to a colander set over a medium bowl and let drain for about 15 minutes, until all of the liquid is drawn out.

Transfer the liquid released from the apples to a small pot over low heat.

In a small bowl, mix the rest of the cornstarch and the water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the apple liquid and quickly stir to incorporate. Bring to a boil, then add the butter and stir until melted. Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the apples, stirring to coat.

Gently lay 1 rolled-out pie crust in a 10-inch (25-cm) pie dish.

Lay the apples in the pie crust, making sure they are flat and facing the rounded edges out in order to fit as many apples as possible in the crust. Pour any leftover liquid from the bowl over the apples.

Top with the other rolled-out pie crust. Trim the excess dough from the edges.

Press the 2 crusts together to seal, then fold the edges under. Crimp the edges.

Then brush all over with egg wash and sprinkle the with sanding sugar.

Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top for steam to escape.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.

Fruit Tart (The Best)

(310 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour

(1 ml) salt

(125 ml) unsalted butter, softened

(125 ml) icing sugar

(10 ml) lemon juice

(5 ml) vanilla extract

vanilla bean

(180 ml) sugar

(30 ml) cornstarch

(20 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour

(250 ml) 2% milk

(250 ml) 35% cream

(60 ml) cold butter, diced

pineapple

kiwis,

(125 ml) fresh raspberries

(125 ml) fresh blueberries

(75 ml) apricot jam

(30 ml) water

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat until smooth. At low speeds or with a wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients. Shape into a disc with your hands and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the dough is firm.

On a floured work surface, knead the dough to slightly soften it. Roll out the dough to a 3-mm (1/8-inch) thick sheet. Line a 23-cm (9-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom and 2.5-cm (1-inch) high with the dough. The dough brakes easily, just pick it up and press firmly to fix it. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes. Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork.

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).

Bake for about 16 minutes or until the crust begins to brown. Let cool while making the pastry cream.

Crust

Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. With the tip of a knife, remove the seeds from the vanilla bean. Set aside.

In a saucepan, off the heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Add the eggs and 60 ml (¼ cup) of milk and combine well with a whisk. Stir in the remaining milk and the cream. Add the vanilla seeds and bean and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring, for about 8 minutes. Simmer gently for about 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and add the butter. Stir until melted. Remove the vanilla pod and pour into the crust. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the custard. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

Pastry Cream

On top of the pie, place the pineapple slices, overlapping, in the centre and around the pie without touching the crust. Place the kiwi slices the same way, slightly overlapping, over the pineapple, leaving space in the centre for the berries. Set aside.

In a bowl in the microwave oven, heat the apricot jam with the water and strain. Brush over the pineapple and kiwi fruit with a brush. Add the raspberries and blueberries to the remaining warm jam and toss gently. Arrange the berries in the centre of the pie, letting them spread naturally.

Topping

I made this for a family dinner and it was incredible!! Everyone loved the vanilla bean in the delicious pastry cream and the crust came out perfect!! I will definitely be making this again and trying different fruit toppings - peaches had a unanimous vote!

This pastry cream is delicious.  I was looking for a recipe different than my own and this is a keeper.  I was skeptical upon reading the review that it is not good, but it is all good.  No need to pass thru a sieve - it about how it is mixed and cooked.  Very smooth and tasty.  But I would reduce sugar to 1/2 C.

After reading that this recipe had 5 star reviews, I decided to try it. I read the recipe for the pastry cream, and I was skeptical on how it would turn out. I have never seen a pastry cream that you "bring to a boil" and then "simmer", and stirring instead of whisking, and not passing it through a sieve. Just as I thought, this pastry cream was a thick, gloppy, lumpy mess and had a terrible mouth feel. What a gigantic waste of eggs and cream. Don't bother with this recipe. It is terrible.

Measuring Butter

This is adapted from the recipe off the back of the Ritz cracker box. Add a dollop of homemade whipped cream or crème fraîche to balance out the sweetness of the filling and play up the puckery lemon flavor.

Mock Apple Pie Recipe

For the Crust

unbaked pie crusts (I used the Food Lab's Easy Pie Crust)

For the Filling

cream of tartar

juice lemon

crackers,

unsalted butter,

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water and cream of tartar, whisking until sugar has dissolved. Bring mixture to boil over high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 15 minutes or until mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Stir in zest, juice and vanilla. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes. 

Roll out crusts. For a nine inch pan your bottom crust should be around 11 inches in diameter, your top crust, about 10 inches. Place bottom crust in pie pan or dish. Add crumbled crackers. Pour syrup over crackers and dot with pieces of butter then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon. 

Beat together egg and milk. Place top crust over pie. Seal and flute the edges and brush with egg wash then sprinkle with sugar. Cut several small slits into the top crust to vent the steam. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and serve. Store covered. 

This is a great recipe for a classic lemon meringue pie, with just a slight twist. Instead of a raw French meringue topping, it has one made of Swiss meringue instead. I think the texture is better with the Swiss Meringue, but it's important to only make the meringue just before you plan to serve it, or else it will get rubbery on top.

Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe

recipe Easy Pie Dough, shaped and chilled in a pie plate

(1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon) freshly squeezed and strained lemon juice

(3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) water

(2 1/3 cup) granulated sugar, divided

cornstarch

(3 tablespoons) cold butter, cut into small pieces

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line the shaped, chilled, pie crust with parchment or foil and fill with weights (I like reusing dried beans for this purpose) and bake for 15 minutes on the lower rack. Remove the liner and weights and bake until the whole crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Place the lemon juice, water, and zest in a medium sized saucepan. Whisk together the cornstarch, 9 ounces (1 1/3 cups) sugar, and salt, and add it to the saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks then add them to the mixture and whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture becomes thick and bubbles, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk for an additional two minutes once it's begun to bubble, without stopping, then remove from heat. Whisk in the butter until it is completely melted. Pour the mixture into the baked pie shell and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Allow the pie to come to room temperature, then chill for at least four hours (ideally, overnight) with the plastic wrap still on top.

Before serving: Fill medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring water to a simmer.Combine egg whites, remaining sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of electric mixer, and place over saucepan. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Test by rubbing between your fingers. Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Remove the plastic from the top of the chilled pie and top with the meringue. Place the pie under the broiler and watch if carefully, the top should brown but not burn, and it changes quickly. Chill for 10 minutes, then serve.

A beacon of hope on a cold winter's night, this pie has tender bite-sized pieces of potato, mushroom, and carrot nestled in a hearty red wine and thyme lentil gravy. Best served warm with all the tomato sauce your heart desires.
