Sweet Dream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until well combined; fold in whipped topping, pecans, and pineapple.
• Smooth pineapple mixture into pie crust; chill until mixture has solidified, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Beat whipped topping mix, 1 cup milk and vanilla in large bowl with mixer on high speed 6 min. or until soft peaks form.
• Add remaining milk and dry pudding mixes; beat on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed 2 min., stopping occasionally to scrape bottom and side of bowl. Spoon into crust.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling, Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 13-15 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash until very smooth; cool to room temperature. , In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Add milk, two cups mashed sweet potatoes, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Pour into crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake until set or a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftover.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F Prepare 8" round spring form.
• In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients: flower, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In another bowl, combine butter, sugar, yokes, vanilla - mix with an electric mixer for 1-2 min or until smooth. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture, and combine. The dough will be soft and smooth, like playdough ;).
• Divide the dough into 3 parts, and place one part into freezer. Using your fingers spread the remaining dough in a baking form. I use metal spring form (silicon ones work ok as well).
• Prepare the fruit filling: For apple filling, wash and core apples, skin them, and grate them. Spread them over the dough in the baking form - this layer should be about 1-2 inches deep. If you are using apricots, wash and break then into halves. Spread them over the dough so that you have about 2 layers of apricot halves.
• Beat the egg whites with confectioner's sugar, until white foam becomes more or less stable. About 5 minute. Pour the foam over the filling.
• Get the piece of dough from the freezer, and using the larger grater, grate the frozen dough over the filling. Spread the pieces evenly.
• Place in the oven. Bake for about 1 hour. After the pie is ready, let it cool before serving. It tastes best when it is room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup of the sugar, as well as the eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Allow the pie to stand for 15 minutes before baking to allow the sugar to melt.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the prepared pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to fill.
• For the cream cheese layer: Cream the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
• Spoon the cream cheese filling into the crust and spread evenly. Chill in the freezer to firm the base while you make the second layer.
• For the red velvet layer: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In the same mixer bowl you used for the cream cheese layer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and egg white and mix to combine.
• Add the vanilla and food coloring and mix well, then add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Spoon the red filling into the chilled pie and spread into an even layer.
• Bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling springs back when touched lightly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and strawberry preserves. Fold in the whipped topping. Scoop the mixture into the prepared pie crust, and set aside.
• In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries, sugar, and grenadine syrup until slightly chunky. Spread over the cream cheese mixture. Chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.
