Almond Cream Pie Or Pecan Cream Pie Recipes

NO BAKE PECAN CREAM PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, milk, dry pudding mix, butter extract, and 2 cups toasted pecans (reserving 1/2 cup for garnish).
• Fold in whipped topping.
• Spread into prepared pie crust. I use a larger, 9 oz. crust, but sometimes the smaller, 6 oz. crusts are easier to find in stores. This can make two smaller 6 oz. pies.
• Refrigerate til set, at least 2 hours.
• If desired, garnish with additional whipped cream and remaining toasted pecans. Cut and serve.

ALMOND CREAM PIE OR PECAN CREAM PIE

Steps:

• In saucepan, combine, sugar, salt and cake flour. Stir in milk and egg yolks. Whisk all smooth.
• Cook on med-high for 3 minutes while stirring. Turn down heat. Continue whisking over low heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is smooth and thick.
• Take mixture off heat, stir in butter, and both extracts. Add chopped almonds. Stir until blended. Pour into bowl, cover and cool. Once cool to touch, pour into already cooked pie shell. Cover with plastic wrap, directly on cream(to prevent a skin from forming).
• Chill in fridge for 4-6 hours.
• For Topping: in a chilled bowl, pour whipping cream, powder sugar and vanilla. Whip until soft peaks form.
• Spoon or pipe onto chilled pie. Garnish with toasted slivered almonds.
• Variation: pecan cream pie: take out almond extract, increase vanilla extract to 1 teaspoon. Use chopped toasted pecans instead of almonds for filling and use toasted chopped pecans for garnish.

Sprinkle with the water, mix gently and gather together to form a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Butter a 20.5 cm (8 in.) tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Roll out the dough to a thickness of .5cm and place it over the pan without stretching. Press well into the bottom and up the sides, then roll the rolling pin firmly over the top to trim the excess. Prick with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
• Prepare the filling:.
• In a saucepan over medium- low heat, make a roux by melting the butter and stirring in the flour with a wooden spoon. In a separate saucepan, bring the milk, salt and sugar to a boil.
• Add the hot milk to the roux a little at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth. Continue whisking and cooking over low heat for 5 minutes, until thick.
• Remove from heat and add the egg yolks and powdered almonds, whisking briskly. Do not allow the filling to boil after the egg yolks are added, or it will separate.
• Pour the filling into the pre-cooked pie shell. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned. Cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

VEGAN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk so that the starch is evenly dispersed, then whisk in the coconut oil. Add the maple syrup and whisk thoroughly, followed by the almond milk and vanilla.
• Place the pie dish with bottom crust on a baking sheet. Pour in the filling, making sure to scrape the entire contents from the sides of the bowl into the pie. Sprinkle the pecans over the top or arrange the nuts in concentric circles if you'd like an especially elegant presentation. Bake the pie for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40 minutes more. The filling should be thick and bubbling at the edges.
• Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. The pie will keep for up to 1 week at room temperature.

• Stir in the pecans and sliced almonds.
• Once filling is prepared, take the dough ball from the fridge and place on lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the crust dough into a circle at least 12 inches in diameter and gently fold pie crust into quarters. Move the folded pie crust from the counter to the pie plate. Unfold in the pie plate. Pour filling into pie shell. Flute edges in your favorite design.
• Place pie crust shield over the top or use foil to make a shield to keep the crust edges from burning or turning dark brown while baking.
• Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes, or until filling has set.
• Let cool completely on cooling rack. Refrigerate. It's easiest to slice pie when its cold!
• Serve cool with whipped cream or warm with vanilla bean ice cream. You'll have to imagine the dollop of whipped cream.
