White Christmas Pie #dessert #cakes #white #pumpkin #bars

I'm longing for a white Christmas… and this White Christmas Pie is exceptionally fantastic and tasty!

We discovered this formula in a vintage 50th commemoration cookbook incorporated by the promoter club of Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury, Connecticut – the secondary school one of my mom's dear companions went to as an adolescent.

Loaded up with plans put together by guardians and graduated class who went to the school somewhere in the range of 1922 and 1972, that cookbook is an exceptionally intriguing depiction of mid-century cooking history told through plans that individuals sufficiently cherished to need to share.

Despite the fact that not part of the first formula, we chose to top our White Christmas Pie with unsweetened whipped cream. The filling of the pie is genuinely sweet as written in the first formula, yet by including whipped cream top, it truly assisted with chopping down the sweetness. (Furthermore – it looks so beautiful and it makes a considerably creamier chomp!)

INGREDIENTS

To Make a 10” Pie Crust

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
2 ½ tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
¼ cup ice cold water, plus more as needed

Filling

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
¼ cup water
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups whole milk
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¾ cup shredded coconut plus more for sprinkling over top
2 cups heavy cream as topping
2 cups fresh diced strawberries, for topping
½ cup confectioners’ sugar to mix with strawberries

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the crust, cut the butter into pats and place flat on a plate. Place the plate in the freezer while you work on the remaining ingredients.
In the bowl of a food processor, place flour, salt and sugar and pulse to combine. Add cold shortening and pulse a few times. Add frozen butter and pulse until the butter is pea size.
Pulse while adding cold water, stop and check by pinching some dough and if it is crumbly, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dough comes together.
Pour out onto a floured counter and press together into a disc. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Remove dough and on a floured surface, roll dough so that it is two inches larger than your standard 10” pie plate. A 9” pie plate can be used however the filling will be right up to the top. Place the dough over the pie plate and gently press in and up and over the edges. With a knife or scissors, cut extra. Pinch the overhanging dough into a high ridge all around and then go back over and a make decorative edge, again, keeping it high. (I use thumb and index finger on one side and the knuckle of my index finger on the opposite side and pressed together to make a scalloped edge) Place the completed pie dough in the freezer for 30 minutes to set up so that the sides don’t collapse while baking.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and once the pie plate with the dough sits in the freezer for 30 minutes, remove, add parchment and either pie weights or dry beans. (To make the parchment fit, cut parchment into a circle larger than the pie plate and make four slits a few inches long around the edge half way to center so when you place it in the shell, the slits overlap and fit up the sides.) Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove pie weights or beans, and with a fork, puncture the bottom in a few places to release steam and place back in the oven without the weights and parchment and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool to room temperature. The shell is now ready to be filled.
