Best 3 Raspberry Honey Moon Pie Recipes

RASPBERRY PIE I

Steps:

• Mix together raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, minute tapioca and water. Mix and let sit while you make your pie crust. (See double crust recipes on this site if you do not have a recipe).
• Put berries in bottom crust, and put 4 - 1 tablespoon pats of butter on top. Put on top crust and crimp edges. Make slits in the crust to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 45 minutes.

ELVIS MOON PIE

Steps:

• For the macaroons: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the peanuts and confectioners' sugar in a food processor and process until it reaches a flour consistency, about 5 minutes. Place the egg whites and granulated sugar in a stand mixer and whip until firm peaks form.
• Using a rubber spatula, slowly fold in the peanut/sugar mixture, one-third at a time, until fully incorporated, being careful not to let the mixture "drop." Pipe the batter using a piping bag or pastry bag onto the prepared baking sheets (six 3-inch rounds on each tray) about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown and nicely risen, 15 to 17 minutes. Let rest 20 minutes, and then remove the macaroons from the baking sheets.
• For the compote: Render the bacon in a saute pan over low heat until crispy and browned. Add the chopped bananas and cook while mashing. Then add the brown sugar, rum and lime juice, and continue to cook the mashed mixture until no liquid remains.
• For the marshmallow cream: Place the gelatin into the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of the water. Have the whisk attachment standing by.
• In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, the granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium-high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, immediately remove from the heat.
• Turn the mixer on low speed and, while running, slowly pour the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the speed to high. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vanilla during the last minute of whipping.
• To assemble: Place one macaroon baked-side down. Add a scoop of the compote, about 3 tablespoons. Cover the compote with 1 tablespoon marshmallow whip. Using a hand torch, roast the marshmallow until browned. Top with another macaroon, baked-side up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve.

MOON PIE

Steps:

• For the moon pie cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 2 large baking sheets.
• Melt the butter with the marjoram in a large saucepan on low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the egg whites one at a time and stir until well blended after each addition. Stir in the flour.
• Drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake, one baking sheet at a time, until the edges of the cookies are browned (the centers should remain pale), 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
• For the marshmallow filling: In a small bowl, soak the gelatin in 2 cups of cool water to soften.
• In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, mix together the sugar, corn syrup and honey. (Note that you will use this saucepan twice, to make the syrup and melt the gelatin, eliminating the need to wash it between uses.) Place the saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, pour in the egg whites and beat on low speed until frothy. Add the pinch of salt. When the sugar syrup reaches about 210 degrees F, increase the speed of the mixer to high and beat the whites until they are thick and fluffy.
• When the syrup reaches 245 degrees F, while the mixer is running on high speed, slowly pour the hot syrup into the whites, pouring so that the syrup does not fall on the whisk (or some of the syrup will splatter and stick to the sides of the bowl). Continue mixing.
• Scrape the gelatin and 1/3 cup of the soaking water into the pan that you used for the syrup. There should still be enough residual heat left in the pan from making the syrup to dissolve the gelatin.
• Pour the liquefied gelatin slowly into the whites as they are whipping. Add the vanilla paste and continue to whip until the mixture feels completely cool when you touch the outside of the bowl, about 5 minutes.
• Immediately pipe the marshmallow into the cookies and sandwich.
