Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 hand pies

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 14.1-ounce box of 2 pie crusts
All-purpose flour, for dusting
3 ounces cream cheese (a little under half a block), at room temperature
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
One 2-ounce package sliced almonds
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll out one pie crust on a work surface lightly dusted with flour and cut into 4 equal wedges with a pizza cutter or knife. Spread 2 teaspoons of cream cheese over each piece, leaving about 1/2 inch bare around the edges. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the cream cheese and gently fold the crust over, creating a triangular hand pie. Using a fork, press the edges to seal, and place the pies on a large ungreased baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining crust.
  • Brush the butter over each hand pie and lightly press the sliced almonds into the tops of the hand pies in a single layer. Brush the almonds with a little bit of melted butter and lightly sprinkle the turbinado sugar over each hand pie.
  • Bake until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let rest a couple of minutes and serve warm or at room temperature

PAULA DEEN'S RICH CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Paula Deen's Rich Chocolate Meringue Pie Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by kshepherd322

Number Of Ingredients 14

MILE HIGH MERINGUE:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust, baked
5 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
10 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon clear or regular vanilla extract
Unsweetened cocoa powder, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large heavy saucepan, combine flour, cocoa, and sugar. Stir in milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour mixture into prepared piecrust. Using the back of a spoon, spread meringue (recipe below) over hot filling, sealing to edge of pie crust. Bake for 23 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Sift cocoa over the top of the pie if desired. Store in refrigerator. MILE-HIGH MERINGUE: Separate a cold egg by transferring the yolk between the broken halves and letting the white drip into a small bowl. Transfer the white into a metal or glass mixing bowl. Separate the next egg over the small bowl as well-not over the mixing bowl. This way, if some of the yolk gets in the white, then you have lost only one egg. Let egg whites come to room temperature. Beat the egg whites at the mixer's top speed until the mixture looks like sea form on a beach. Add cream of tartar to the foam to help stabilize the meringue. Keep beating egg whites at high speed until they reach soft peaks. When you lift the beaters from the beaten egg whites, the peaks will stand up straight and then fall over. Add the sugar gradually, about a tablespoon at a time, all while beating at a high speed. When you lift the beaters, the meringue pulls into pointy peaks that stay that way. At this stage, add the vanilla, and beat just long enough to mix it in.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal. - To ensure the pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and ice water. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the crust tough. - Blind bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. - Use a variety of nuts in the filling, such as almonds, pecans, and walnuts. You can also add other ingredients, such as dried fruit or chocolate chips. - Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly gooey in the center. - Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's chocolate almond pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, crunchy almond topping, and creamy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your pie turns out perfect.
