PASSION CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks until thick. Add 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and passion fruit juice. Cook over low heat until thick, stirring constantly. Add gelatin which has been dissolved in cold water. Add lemon rind and cool until slightly congealed. Beat egg whites with remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Fold slightly beaten egg whites into cooled yolk mixture. Pour into cool pie shell. Chill until nice and stiff. Serve with whipped cream and enjoy.

FRUIT CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside to soften for 5 minutes.
• Combine 2/3 cup sugar, the rehydrated gelatin, and the mashed fruit in a saucepan. Cook to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and set the bottom of the pan in cold water; cool just until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
• Combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup sugar in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture slightly, just to break up the egg whites. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove. Heat the mixture, whisking constantly, until the egg white mixture is hot to the touch and has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat and whip with an electric mixer until the meringue forms medium-stiff glossy peaks.
• Use a whisk or spatula to fold the fruit mixture into the meringue. Meanwhile, whip the cream in a cold bowl until medium-stiff peaks form.
• The filling mixture should be no warmer than room temperature when you add the whipped cream. Add one third of the whipped cream into the filling mixture, mixing gently until combined. Fold in the remaining whipped cream and pile the filling into the cooled baked pie shell. Chill several hours until set.

GRAPEFRUIT CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers in the work bowl of a food processor until finely ground, about 30 seconds; you should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add the sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate. Bake until the crust is lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Pour the water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin into the water. Let stand until the gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
• Set a small pot of water to boil. In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Add the grapefruit juice, grapefruit zest and salt. Place the bowl on the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture, whisking until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl; discard the solids remaining in the strainer. Set aside to cool, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Once the filling has cooled, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat the egg whites until glossy and stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the cooled egg yolk mixture in batches until fully blended and no streaks remain.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust, allowing the chiffon to mound slightly in the center. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days before serving. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.
• Before serving, toss the strips of grapefruit zest in the sugar and arrange in the center of the pie.

EASY CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate until slightly thickened. Fold in the whipped topping and 2 cups of strawberries. Pour into the crust. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish with the remaining strawberries.

APRICOT CHIFFON PIE

Steps:

• Bring apricots, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup sugar, and the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until apricots are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool for 20 minutes.
• Puree in a blender. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. (You should have 3 cups puree; reserve 1/2 cup.)
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat 2 1/2 cups apricot puree in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk softened gelatin into puree, and stir until gelatin dissolves.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk together the yolks and 1/2 cup sugar. Whisk in 1/3 of the apricot-gelatin mixture, then pour back into pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour through sieve into a bowl set in ice-water bath. Whisk until just beginning to gel, 5 minutes.
• Whisk whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1/3 of the whites into apricot-gelatin mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. Return bowl to ice-water bath; let cool, stirring, until mixture is thick enough to mound, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon into crust (it will mound quite high). Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Spoon reserved 1/2 cup apricot puree on top and garnish with pistachios.

NAKED-FRUIT CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 325F°. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together oil, egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture.
• Beat egg whites on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Whisk one-third of mixture into batter. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
• Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until golden and tops spring back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out upside-down onto rack and let cool completely.
• Fruit and Whipped Cream Layers: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring berries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up berries with the back of a spoon. Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to release all juices. Let cool completely.
• Combine heavy cream, remaining 1 cup sugar, salt, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low speed until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and beat to firm peaks, about 3 minutes more.
• To Assemble: With a serrated knife, trim tops of cake layers to level; split each in half horizontally to form a total of 4 layers. Place one layer, bottom-side down, on a serving platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups whipped cream evenly over top. Repeat process with remaining cake layers, spreading 1 1/2 cups whipped cream between each layer and leaving top layer uncovered. (For stability, insert a wooden dowel or skewer into center of cake, trimmed so dowel is just shorter than top of cake.)
• Spread remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped cream over top of cake in decorative swirls. Garnish with fruit, scattering it on top of cake and around perimeter of platter. Drizzle with blackberry coulis and serve immediately.
