Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, crushed
1 cup cold butter or margarine (2 sticks)
8 ounces heavy cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 8-ounce package cream cheese
2 envelopes gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups peeled and chopped firm, ripe mangoes

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the flour into a bowl. Add the nuts and mix together. Cut the butter into cubes and add it to the bowl. Using your hands, incorporate the butter into the flour and nuts. Then, press it into a 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the crust to cool to room temperature before adding the cream cheese filling.
  • For the filling: Add the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start mixing on low, and then turn to high speed and mix until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Switch to the paddle attachment on your stand mixer. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth, starting on low speed and increasing to high. Then, add the whipped cream to the bowl with the cream cheese and stir to incorporate. Spread it over the cooled crust and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • For the topping: Sprinkle the gelatin into a bowl with 1 cup cold water. Whisk to dissolve the gelatin. Then add the boiling water, sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Then add the mangoes and chill for a few minutes until the gelatin begins to set. Pour the mango topping over the cream cheese and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

DOUBLE BANANA CREAM PIE



Double Banana Cream Pie image

Provided by Aida Mollenkamp

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 1 (9 1/2-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 recipe Perfectly Flaky Pie Crust, recipe follows
4 large ripe bananas
2 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon table salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into small pieces
Coffee Whipped Cream, recipe follows
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon table salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, small dice
1/4 cup shortening, crumbled
7 to 8 tablespoons ice water
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F, arrange rack in upper third, and place a baking sheet on rack while oven heats.
  • Meanwhile, roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch diameter circle approximately 1/8-inch thick. Transfer dough to a 9 1/2-inch pie dish and trim edges so there is a 1/2-inch overhang. Use excess dough to press crust into pie plate. Fold edge of crust back on itself and press, as desired, into a decorative crust. (Can be made 2 days ahead and kept covered in refrigerator until ready to use.)
  • Pierce bottom of crust all over with a fork. Line pie with aluminum foil so it overhangs slightly and covers edges of pie crust and fill with uncooked rice, dried beans, or baking weights. Place pie dish on baking sheet and bake until crust is set and edges are slightly puffed up, about 25 minutes.
  • Gather foil together and remove along with weights. Continue to bake crust until it is thoroughly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool a few minutes before filling.
  • Meanwhile, peel 1 banana and place in a blender with milk, egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla, and salt and process until smooth. Pour into a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until mixture bubbles and is thick, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter, a few pieces at a time, until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Pour in filling into the pie shell and evenly smooth with a spatula. Slice remaining 3 bananas into 1/2-inch pieces and arrange on top of custard. Smooth whipped cream over top, loosely cover in plastic, and set in refrigerator until cool and set, at least 3 hours.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Using clean hands, add butter and toss until just coated. Rub butter between thumb and forefingers to incorporate into flour mixture until butter is in lima bean-sized pieces and comes together in quarter-sized clumps when squeezed in palm, about 2 minutes. Add shortening, toss until just coated in flour, then rub into flour mixture until mixture forms pea-size pieces (some big chunks should remain) and comes together in fist-sized clumps when squeezed, about 1 minute. Drizzle in half ice water and rake through mixture with fingers until just moistened. Drizzle in remaining water 1 tablespoon at a time and comb through mixture with fingers to moisten. It will go from being a shaggy mess to coming together. Dough is moist enough when it is moistened through but is not wet when pressed. (Do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.)
  • While rotating the bowl with 1 hand, push dough between other palm and side of bowl to gather into a ball. Turn dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, then close in wrap. Place in coldest part of refrigerator (usually back bottom shelf) at least 30 minutes before rolling out and forming into a crust.
  • Yield: about 1 pound dough (enough for 1 (9 to 10-inch pie dish))
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Inactive Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Ease of preparation: intermediate
  • Place very clean glass or metal bowl and metal whisk in freezer just until cold, about 5 minutes.
  • When everything is cold, place cream in bowl and begin to whisk until it froths up and starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Whisk vigorously until soft peaks form (the cream will hold a point when the whisk is lifted but will fall back into the bowl almost immediately), about 1 minute.
  • Add the liqueur and whisk until stiff peaks just form (the cream stays put on the whisk when it is lifted from the bowl), about 1 minute. Store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Yield: 1 1/2 cups
  • Prep Time: 8 minutes
  • Ease of preparation: easy

BANANA CREAM PIE



Banana Cream Pie image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 22

Flaky Pie Dough for a 1-crust pie, below
2 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose bleached flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
2 1/2 cups (about 11 ounces) all-purpose bleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
4 to 6 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake the crust.
  • To make the filling, combine 2 cups milk, sugar and salt in a non-reactive saucepan; whisk once to mix and bring to a boil over low heat. Place remaining 1/2 cup milk in a mixing bowl and whisk in cornstarch, then eggs. Return milk and sugar mixture to a boil over low heat then whisk about a third of it into the egg mixture. Return milk and sugar mixture to a boil once more and whisk in the egg mixture, whisking constantly until the filling thickens and comes to a boil. Allow to boil, whisking constantly, for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, whisk in butter and vanilla; pour into a non-reactive bowl. Press plastic wrap against the surface of the filling and chill until it is approximately 75 degrees. Fold the bananas into the cooled filling and spread it evenly in the cooled crust.
  • To finish the pie, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla until it holds a firm peak. Use a hand mixer on medium speed or a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whisk. Spread the cream over the filling, making sure it touches the edges of the crust all around.
  • To mix the dough by hand, combine flour, salt and baking powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Cut butter into 1-tablespoon pieces and add to dry ingredients. Toss once or twice to coat pieces of butter. Then using your hands or a pastry blender, break the butter into tiny pieces and pinch and squeeze it into the dry ingredients. Keep the mixture uniform by occasionally reaching down to the bottom of the bowl and mixing all the ingredients evenly together. Continue rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse-ground cornmeal and no large pieces of butter remain visible. Sprinkle the minimum amount of water over the butter and flour mixture and stir gently with a fork -- the dough should begin holding together. If the mixture still appears dry and crumbly, add the remaining water, 1 teaspoon at a time for the smaller quantity of dough, a tablespoon at a time for the larger quantity, until the dough holds together easily.
  • To mix the dough in the food processor, combine flour, salt and baking powder in work bowl fitted with metal blade. Pulse 3 times at 1-second intervals to mix. Cut butter into 1-tablespoon pieces and add to work bowl. Process, pulsing repeatedly at 1-second intervals, until the mixture is fine and powdery, resembles a coarse-ground cornmeal and no large pieces of butter remain visible--about 15 pulses in all. Scatter the minimum amount of water on the butter and flour mixture and pulse 5 or 6 times -- the dough should begin holding together. If the mixture still appears dry and crumbly, add the remaining water, 1 teaspoon at a time for the smaller quantity of dough,one tablespoon at a time for the larger quantity, until the dough holds together easily.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disk (two equal disks for the larger amount of dough). Sandwich the disk(s) of dough between two pieces of plastic wrap and press it into a 6-inch circle. Refrigerate the dough until firm, or until you are ready to use it, at least 1 hour.

ULTIMATE BANANA CREAM PIE



Ultimate Banana Cream Pie image

This is another one of those recipes where I hated this dessert my whole life and was then challenged to come up with a formula for it that I DID like. Here it is - I still don't care for banana cream pie - but this one, I crave sometimes. It's rich without being too sweet, the rum and lime juice give it zip, and the chocolate sauce just adds that last punch! I guarantee you won't have any left if you make one. Please don't substitute or leave ingredients out of this recipe. Everything listed is crucial to the final product.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 10inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 piece vanilla beans (4-inch) or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
7 ounces high quality bittersweet chocolate (do not use chocolate chips)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup creme fraiche (or 1/2 c. sour cream - creme fraiche is better)
1 pre-baked 10-inch pie shell
5 medium bananas, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 teaspoon dark rum
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice (don't use bottled!)
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • For the PASTRY CREAM: Place the yolks, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk until blended.
  • Stir in the cornstarch.
  • Heat the milk and vanilla bean (if using) to scalding in a heavy saucepan.
  • SLOWLY whisk the milk into the eggs, whisking the eggs constantly.
  • This is called"tempering".
  • Start out with just a thin stream of milk, constantly whisking, then as the eggs warm up you can add the milk faster.
  • You need to do this slowly at first to avoid scrambling the yolks.
  • If you do that, you have to start over.
  • Remove the vanilla bean and pour the yolk mixture back into the pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens- about 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream and the vanilla extract (if using).
  • Pass the cream through a fine mesh strainer (very important to do!!!), then place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
  • Will keep several days in the refrigerator.
  • Make the CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Coarsely chop the chocolate and place in a stainless steel bowl.
  • Heat the cream until scalding, pour over the chocolate.
  • Let sit 5 minutes before stirring.
  • Stir with a whisk until very smooth.
  • Serve sauce warm, or refrigerate for later use.
  • This will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.
  • MAKE THE PIE: Toss the bananas with the rum and the lime juice- set aside.
  • Spread about 3/4 cup of the pastry cream in the pie shell.
  • Layer the bananas evenly over the top, then cover with the remaining pastry cream.
  • Whip the cream to soft peaks, the gently fold in the cream fraiche.
  • Spread this mixture over the top of the pastry cream and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Serve with warm chocolate sauce drizzled over the top.
  • NOTE: This pie doesn't keep well.
  • You can prepare the pastry cream, chocolate sauce, pie shell all ahead of time, but assemble the pie no earlier than the morning of the day you plan to serve it and keep it refrigerated.
  • I've never had leftovers so I don't know how long it keeps after cutting!

GRANDMA'S BANANA CREAM PIE



Grandma's Banana Cream Pie image

My grandmother was a wonderful cook, made great pies, and this was my favorite. She always used a homemade pie crust and served it with a dollop of Cool Whip or whipped cream on top. She didn't give me any idea how many bananas to use...so I guessed. She would also use the same custard, making a half batch, for the filling in cream puffs.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pie, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups milk
4 tablespoons flour

3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Add butter and vanilla, and stir well.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  • Garnish the pie with fresh whipped cream, banana slices, or chopped nuts before serving.
