Ruth Eichners Frozen Raspberry Pie Recipes

RUTH EICHNER'S FROZEN RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roll out 1 dough round between 2 sheets of wax paper and line a 9-inch pie pan with it. Prick the bottom and sides, trim the sides to a -inch overhang and chill for 30 minutes.
• Combine the flour, 1 cup of sugar and the tapioca and, using a fork, combine with the raspberries, leaving as many frozen clumps as possible. Pour this mixture into the pie shell. Roll out the other round between sheets of wax paper, cut a decorative vent in it and lay it over the fruit. Crimp the edges together firmly and flute.
• Brush the top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 400 and bake for 30 to 35 more minutes, or until the berries in the middle of the pie are visibly bubbling.

RASPBERRY CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, crush the cookies in a food processor (or smash in a ziptop bag with a rolling pin). Stir in the melted butter until combined. Pour into a regular pie pan and press the crumbs all over the pan and up the sides. Bake just long enough for it to set, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Put the raspberries on a plate or in an empty pan. Smash them with a fork, then sprinkle on the sugar. Stir together and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the raspberry yogurt with the instant vanilla pudding mix (just the powder itself). Beat on low until combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and whip on low for 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Turn the mixer on medium-high speed and beat until thick, about 2 minutes.
• Turn off the mixer, then fold in the raspberries until just combined. Pour into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours. Cut into slices and top each slice with cookie crumbs, dollops of whipped cream and extra raspberries.

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix together the raspberries, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt until raspberries are well-covered.
• Pour into 9 or 10-inch pastry shell. Dot with butter; add top crust and crimp edge.
• Make slits in the top crust and brush with cream. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to set the crust. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 25 minutes more. Allow pie to cool completely before serving.

FROZEN RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• To prepare crust: Process 32 wafers, confectioners' sugar, oil, milk and butter in a food processor until finely ground. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, creating an even, dense crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 1 hour, pressing any puffed parts of the crust back into the pan.
• To prepare filling: Meanwhile, puree raspberries, lemon juice and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract the juice; discard seeds.
• Bring 1 inch of water to a slow simmer in a large saucepan. Combine egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar in a 3-quart stainless-steel bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Set the bowl over the simmering water and continue to beat on medium speed, moving the mixer around, until the mixture is glossy and thick, about 3 1/2 minutes. Increase the speed to high, and continue beating over the simmering water until very stiff and glossy, about 3 1/2 minutes more (the eggs will be at a safe temperature, 160°F, at this point). Remove from the heat (be careful of the escaping steam) and continue beating on medium speed until room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fold the raspberry puree into the meringue until combined. Pour the raspberry filling into the pie crust; crumble the remaining chocolate wafer over the top. Place the pie on a level surface in your freezer and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours. To serve, let the pie stand at room temperature until softened slightly, about 10 minutes, before slicing.
