Strawberry Pineapple Pie Kat Recipes

Steps:

• Place pineapple and strawberries in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan. Stir in the tapioca, egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar; let stand for 5 minutes., Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 teaspoon extract and food coloring if desired. Pour into pastry shell; refrigerate for 1 hour., In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add remaining sugar and extract; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over top of pie. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Steps:

• For the crust: Spoon flour into measuring cup and level. Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until all flour is blended to form pea-sized chunks. Sprinkle with water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Toss lightly with fork until dough forms a ball. Press dough between hands to form a 5 to 6-inch pancake. Lightly flour rolling surface and rolling pin. Roll dough into circle. Trim 1-inch larger than upside-down pie plate. Loosen dough carefully. Fold dough into quarters. Unfold and press into pie plate. Fold edge under. Flute.
• For the filling: Blend sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan; add lemon-lime soda. Cook stirring until smooth and thick. Add strawberries and cook for a few minutes. If desired, add red food coloring. Pour into cooled pie shell. Chill. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Steps:

• 1. If using a ready to bake crust, bake as directed and let cool. In a bowl mix together cream cheese, diced strawberries, crushed pineapple, gelatin and condensed milk, until well blended.
• 2. Pour into pie shell, place sliced strawberries on top ( optional) and chill in fridge for 3+ hours

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Add the ice water, then continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a shaggy dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick), then fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim away any excess dough, crimp the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of the pie with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the bottom is just starting to set and the edges are just starting to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth, then whisk into the egg mixture. Warm the remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk and the melted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming, 2 minutes. Slowly whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then return the entire mixture to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the red food coloring.
• Spoon the glaze into the pie crust and spread over the bottom and up the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, 2 hours.
• Spread the berries in the glazed crust. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
• Make the topping: Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pie and top with the strawberry half.

Steps:

• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the wafer cookies, macadamia nuts, granulated sugar and salt together until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined.
• Press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate and transfer to the freezer until firm (at least 1 hour and up to overnight).
• For the filling: In a medium pot, heat the coconut milk and whole milk together over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg and egg yolk to combine. When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, pour about 1/4 of it into the sugar/egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Return this mixture to the pot and continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and large bubbles pop up from the center of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and shredded coconut. Pour the mixture into the frozen pie crust, cover directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate to cool completely.
• For the toppings: In a medium pot, stir together the crushed pineapple, light brown sugar, cornstarch and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely, then pour on top of the chilled pie. Sprinkle the macadamia nuts in an even layer on top of the pie. (The pie can be made up to this point 24 hours ahead of time.)
• When ready to serve, toss the strawberries and honey together in a medium bowl. Arrange in an even layer on top of the pie. Serve slices with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Prebake your pie crust and have cooled.
• In a saucepot place the whole milk, and vanilla pudding mix (not instant), and cook until thick , following package directions.
• Cool slightly without stirring.
• Add well drained crushed pineapple.
• Add in vanilla.
• Whip the heavy cream until stiff, and fold in the cooled pudding mixture.
• Spread into the cooled pie shell.
• Chill until set.
• In a saucepot place the 1/2 cup berries and water.
• Cook about two minutes, then remove and sieve.
• Place back into saucepot.
• Combine the sugar and cornstarch with the juices or puree in the saucepot.
• Over low heat, stirring until thick and clear.
• Add food colouring if desired to make a nice red.
• Remove from heat.
• Slice the 2 1/2 cups berries in half.
• Place in a nice circular pattern berries cut side up onto the chilled pie.
• Spoon the glaze over all the berries to glaze fruit.
• Chill now for several hours.
• Serve with additional whipped heavy cream.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degree F. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, well drained pineapple, salt, corn starch, sugar and lemon juice.
• 2. Evenly spread strawberry mixture into pie shell.
• 3. Bake for 50 minutes, I place foil on top about half way through. While pie is baking, mix the corn syrup and food coloring.
• 4. When pie comes out of oven. Drizzle with the syrup. Cool on rack and chill until ready to serve. I always serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
