LEMON CUSTARD PIE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 pieces of pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40), crushed
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
2 medium lemons, washed well
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Pulse the saltines, coconut, sugar and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add the butter and continue to pulse until the crumbs begin to clump together. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (the crust will be thick). Bake until the crust is browned around the edges and lightly browned on the bottom, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool slightly.
  • Make the filling: Remove the peel from 1 lemon using a vegetable peeler, removing just the peel and not the pith. Transfer the peel to a food processor. Remove the peel from the other lemon and discard the peel. Cut off the white pith from both lemons; chop the flesh, removing any seeds, and add the flesh to the food processor along with the condensed milk. Puree, scraping down the sides. Add the egg yolks and process until combined. Strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Pour over the crust and gently wiggle to distribute the filling. Bake until the filling is set but still slightly wiggly, about 20 minutes. Transfer to the rack and let cool 1 hour, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours.
  • Just before serving, make the topping: Beat the heavy cream and sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form. Serve with the pie.

HOMEMADE MINCE PIE WITH CRUMBLY TOPPING



Homemade Mince Pie with Crumbly Topping image

This pie has no meat in it (it's a 'mock' mincemeat pie). It doesn't use mincemeat mixes or prepared pie crusts. It's homemade, like ma (or grandma) used to make. Enjoy it! I made it for my father for Father's Day (he loves mince pie).

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup cold butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold water
1 ½ cups raisins
5 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped grapefruit peel without white layer
⅓ cup orange juice
½ cup apple cider
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ graham cracker, crushed
⅓ cup white sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter
½ graham cracker, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of cold butter with 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt with a fork until the mixture is very crumbly. Mix in water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture holds together. Mix again with a fork, then turn out onto a floured pastry cloth. Pat the dough out into a round piece, and roll out into a 10-inch circle. Invert a 9-inch pie dish onto the dough. Flip the dough over, and peel from the pastry cloth; adjust the crust into the plate if necessary. Fold the dough over the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
  • Combine the raisins, apples, grapefruit peel, orange juice, and apple cider in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, cloves, and half a crushed graham cracker, and mix well.
  • Mix together 1/3 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, 6 tablespoons of butter, and half a crushed graham cracker in a bowl, stirring until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Pour the mince filling into the prepared pie crust, and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 30 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Custard & crumble mince pies image

A twist on a festive favourite, adding a layer of creamy custard and a delectable crumbly topping makes an irresistible and more mellow mince pie

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 45m

Yield makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

125g unsalted butter , cold from the fridge
185g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
3 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 large egg
180g mincemeat
120g pot custard

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put a baking sheet in the oven on the middle shelf.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt.
  • Tip the butter into the flour and use your fingers to rub the two together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in 2 tbsp of the sugar. Scoop a heaped half cup (85g) of the crumbs into a smaller bowl and set aside.
  • Have two small bowls ready. Crack the egg on the side of one bowl, then carefully pull the shell apart in two halves, letting the yolk nestle into one side. Let the white drain away from the yolk into one bowl and put the yolk into the other bowl.
  • Beat the egg yolk with a fork, then add it to the bigger bowl of butter and flour mix. Use a cutlery knife to stir the yolk into the crumbs.
  • Put your hand in the bowl and squeeze the crumbs together to make a ball. Knead the pastry a few times until smooth.
  • Sprinkle some flour over your work surface. Sprinkle a little more over the pastry and roll it out to the thickness of two £1 coins.
  • Stamp the pastry with an 8cm cutter, re-rolling the trimmings to make 12 rounds.
  • Gently push the rounds of pastry into the bun tin. Spoon 1 heaped tsp of the custard into each pastry case, followed by the mincemeat on top.
  • Add the final 1 tbsp sugar to the smaller bowl of crumb mix. Pinch it together to make bigger clumps and mound it on top of the mincemeat.
  • Slide the bun tin on top of the baking sheet and bake for 15 mins until golden brown and the custard and mincemeat are starting to bubble.
  • Cool in the tin for 15 mins, then carefully lift the pies onto a rack and leave to cool. Will keep for 2 days in an airtight tin.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Before beginning, ensure all your ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready to use. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use high-quality mincemeat: The quality of your mincemeat directly impacts the pie's flavor. Opt for a good-quality mincemeat with a rich, fruity taste.
  • Don't overmix the pastry: Overmixing the pastry can result in a tough, chewy texture. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
  • Chill the pastry before rolling: Chilling the pastry before rolling makes it easier to work with and prevents it from becoming too sticky.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Overfilling the pie can cause the filling to spill out during baking. Fill the pie dish to about two-thirds full.
  • Brush the pastry with milk before baking: Brushing the pastry with milk before baking helps it brown beautifully.
  • Serve the pie warm with custard: Custard is the perfect accompaniment to mincemeat pie. Serve the pie warm with a generous dollop of custard.
