Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

Crust
1 1/3 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups half and half
4 large egg yolks
Topping
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and blend using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat water, egg yolk and vanilla together in small bowl. Add egg mixture to processor and process until large moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Dough can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Let dough stand at room temperature to soften slightly before continuing.)
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter 9-inch-diameter pie pan. Roll dough out on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to prepared pan. Fold edges under and crimp to form high fluted edge. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Line crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Pierce bottom of crust until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
  • For filling:
  • Combine brandy and vanilla in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over and let stand 10 minutes. Place chocolate in medium bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk half and half and egg yolks into sugar mixture. Cook over medium-high heat until custard is thick and smooth and begins to boil, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Quickly add 1 1/4 cups custard to chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Add brandy and gelatin mixture to remaining hot custard. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Spread chocolate filling in crust. Spread brandy filling over. Refrigerate uncovered until pie is completely cool.
  • For topping:
  • Heat sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil, without stirring, until mixture is deep amber, brushing down sugar crystals from sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 11 minutes. Remove from heat and add cream (mixture will bubble up). Add butter and stir until smooth. Stir over low heat until color deepens and caramel thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Mix in pecans. Transfer to small bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Spoon topping over brandy layer. Chill pie until topping is set, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

BLACK BOTTOM BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM PIE



Black Bottom Butterscotch Cream Pie image

Categories     Food Processor     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Pecan     Chill     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the shell
1 cup pecans
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water
raw rice for weighting the shell
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
1/4 cup heavy cream
For the filling
1 tablespoon bourbon
2 tablespoons water
1 envelope (about 1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
3/4 cup heavy cream
For decoration
1/4 cup sugar
8 to 10 pecan halves
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the shell:
  • In a food processor grind coarse the pecans with the sugar and transfer the mixture to a bowl. In the food processor blend together the flour, the butter, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal and add the flour mixture to the pecan mixture. Add the ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, and press it onto the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch (1-quart) pie plate, crimping the edge decoratively. Chill the shell for 1 hour, prick it all over with a fork, and line it with foil. Fill the foil with the rice, bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 10 minutes, and remove the foil and rice carefully. Reduce the heat to 375°F., bake the shell for 12 to 15 minutes more, or until it is golden brown, and let it cool on a rack.
  • In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth, spread the mixture in the bottom and halfway up the side of the shell, and let it cool. Chill the shell.
  • Make the filling while the shell is chilling:
  • In a large metal bowl combine the bourbon and the water, sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid, and let it soften. In a saucepan heat the brown sugar, the milk, and the salt over moderate heat, stirring, until the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved and whisk in the butter. (The mixture will appear slightly curdled.) In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the hot milk mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until it is thickened and registers 160°F. on a candy thermometer and add it to the gelatin mixture. Stir in the vanilla and the nutmeg and stir the mixture until it is cold and the consistency of raw egg whites, and remove the bowl from the ice water. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, fold it into the custard mixture gently but thoroughly, and pour the filling into the chilled shell. Chill the pie for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Decorate the pie:
  • In a very small skillet or saucepan cook the sugar over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt, cook, stirring with a fork, until it is melted completely and turns a golden caramel, and reduce the heat to low. Working quickly, add the pecans, turning them to coat them thoroughly with the caramel, and with the fork transfer them, 1 at a time, to a piece of foil to cool. In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, drop it by heaping tablespoons around the edge of the pie, and arrange a caramelized pecan in the center of each dollop.

WHITE-BOTTOM CARAMEL CREAM CHEESE PECAN PIE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



White-Bottom Caramel Cream Cheese Pecan Pie Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by courtneyepowell

Number Of Ingredients 18

White Layer
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon heavy cream at room temperature
2 teaspoons sugar
2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Caramel Mixture
34 caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
Cream Cheese Layer
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
Pecan Filling
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups whole or chopped Texas pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 1/2-inch glass pie dish. Set crust in pie dish and crimp edges. Set in refrigerator to chill. White layer: Combine cream, sugar and white chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until white chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Spread the white chocolate mixture quickly and evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust. Place pie crust in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes or until set. Caramel mixture: Place caramels, 1/4 cup water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, removing and stirring at 30-second intervals until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool. Cream cheese layer: In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg. Blend with electric mixer, starting with low speed and increasing to high, whipping until smooth. Remove pie crust from freezer. Fold cream cheese mixture over white chocolate layer and spread evenly. Return to refrigerator to chill. Pecan filling: In a separate bowl, beat eggs, vanilla, salt and sugar, blending until well mixed. Add the melted caramel mixture and beat on high speed until well blended. Stir in pecans. Remove pie crust from refrigerator. Slowly pour caramel pecan mix over cream cheese layer, being careful not to disturb the cream cheese. Bake on cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 and bake at least 20 minutes (up to 45 minutes) or until sides are set and center is slightly jiggly. It should set as it cools. When the edge of crust starts to brown, place a crust ring or foil around outside of crimped crust to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool completely. When thoroughly cooled, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours to thoroughly chill.
