This marshmallow topping is easy and delicious. This standard marshmallow flavor makes any dessert delicious, and if you want to kick it up a notch, place it under the broiler for a minute, or hit it with a torch. While the icing is still hot, you will want to top your dessert, and if your dessert is sensitive to heat, you can place it back in the freezer once topped. This topping tastes normal for about 2 days, after that the topping gets a jello-like texture. This recipe is enough it top one 8 inch pie.
1. Place your saucepan over medium low heat. Add your butter and marshmallows. Cook until marshmallows melt. Remove from heat, and add powdered sugar. Stir until combined and use as desired.
Pumpkin pie is delicious and a classic dessert for this time of year. If you plan to have pumpkin pie at your holiday meals this year, look no further than this recipe; it makes 2 pies, and you can freeze one or both. These pies take some time to make, so save some during the holiday by making these pies early. This recipe also makes lots of pie filling. You could probably even make 3 pies with the amount of filling this makes! With my extra filling, I made some mini custards that I can enjoy in the meantime.
This recipe is straight forward. The only important thing to note with this recipe is that these pies shouldn’t stay frozen for longer the 1 month. Their quality will begin to get worse after that time, so if you make these pies the week of thanksgiving, the second pie will only just make it until Christmas before the quality starts to get worse. Or, you could choose to do what I am doing, and gift the second pie to a family member if you can’t see them for the holiday. If you choose not to freeze these pies, they last one week in the fridge. If you freeze your pies, you should thaw them for at least 12 hours in the fridge before serving!
1. Heat oven to 450 F. In a mixing bowl, beat your eggs. Add Pumpkin, Spices, Milk, evaporated milk, brown sugar, flour, and salt, then mix until blended.
2. Place pie crust into pans. Fill 1/2 to 1 inch from top of pastry. Line edge with foil. Place on large baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes before reducing heat to 350. Bake for 40-50 minutes, remove foil, then bake for another 10-20 minutes, or until tester comes out clean. Let cool for 2-3 hours. Wrap twice with cling wrap, being careful to not touch the top of the cake, then wrap with aluminum foil before freezing.
Pie crust can be bought prepared, but it is also very easy to make it yourself and costs a lot less. This recipe makes a buttery and crisp crust. This crust has structure to hold your fillings inside, but it’s not so hard it’s unpleasant to eat. I am not a person that tends to like pies because usually they are frozen and the crust just tastes awfully dry and floury. That is not the case with this crust. This crust becomes flaky, has a great butter taste, and doesn’t become dry and hard. This recipe is enough for one 9 inch pie pan.
Large food processor or large mixing bowl and 2 knives
Directions
1. In a large food processor or mixing bowl, add the flour and butter. Cut the butter until each piece of butter is cut to the size of a pea or smaller. Add your water slowly, and mix until a dough forms.
2. Turn out dough onto cling wrap. Wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden up butter again. Pull out dough, roll to out to fit your pie pan, then bake according to your filling’s instruction, or at 350 F until golden.
Happy 4th, even if you don’t celebrate! I’ve been working on this list for a couple days, but as gatherings are being allowed again where I am, and as the summer continues to roll in, I figured it be a good opportunity to get you a list of some summer cookout or picnic foods. I’ve made four categories: main courses, sides, snacks, and desserts. The pictures are also in order as they are listed below!
I’ve had this tin of cookies since Christmas. I really love these cookies, but we need the counter space back and we’ve stopped eating them, so I decided it would be fun to repurpose them into a pie crust. Some of the cookies we had had coconut flakes in them, and you can still taste them in your crust, so make sure you like the cookies before you make a crust of them. I have a really small food chopper, if you have a bigger one, you can add the butter to the crumbs and mix it quicker by just pulsing a few times. The pie also turned out really well. I followed the directions on the side of the box for the pudding mix, and the mix I used came from Aldis. I also was short by about 1/2 a cup on butter cookies, so I added a little under 1/2 a cup of graham cracker crumbs.
Cookie Crust
In a food processor or blender, crush up your leftover cookies until they have a sandy texture and about 1 1/2 – 2 cups of crumbs.You can supplement with graham crackers or graham cracker crumbs to reach that range if you are short. Also pulse in 2 Tbsp of packed brown sugar.
Turn out crumbs into a 9 inch pie pan. In a side bowl, melt 6 Tbsp of butter. Pour the butter over the crumbs and mix til all of the crumbs have an wet sand consistency. Pack into the edges of the pan in an even layer using your fingers, the back of a spoon, or a rubber spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until fully cooled.
Pudding Filling
Using a box of pudding, combine the pudding powder and 1 3/4 cup of milk in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Once mixed, pour the pudding mixture directly into you crumb crust.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving, or freeze for pieces that will come out more intact.
