PUMPKIN-CHEESECAKE PIE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Pumpkin-Cheesecake Pie with Gingersnap Crust image

Spicy gingersnaps stand in for the more traditional graham crackers in the crust of this Pumpkin-Cheesecake Pie, and make an excellent foil for the rich pumpkin-cream cheese filling. A border of meringue piped into leaves and bruleed with a kitchen torch takes the pie to the next level.

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces gingersnaps (about 23), broken into small pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 large whole egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
3/4 cup sugar
3 large egg whites, room temperature

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse gingersnaps and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter and pulse to combine. Press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake crust until golden in spots, about 15 minutes. With the bottom of a measuring cup, gently flatten bottom and sides of crust. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Filling: Pulse cream cheese in food processor until smooth. Add sugar and pumpkin and process until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add egg and yolk, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; process until incorporated.
  • Pour filling into cooled shell and bake until custard is just set, about 33 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Meringue: Combine sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set bowl over (not in) a pan of simmering water, whisking until sugar dissolves and whites are warm. Remove from heat. Beat on high speed until thick, glossy stiff peaks form, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large leaf tip (such as Ateco #115). Pipe leaves around border of chilled pie, releasing pressure to create tips. Holding a small kitchen torch at a 90-degree angle, 3 inches from surface of meringue, move flame back and forth over meringue until it starts to brown. (Or broil 6 to 8 inches from heat source, about 1 minute.) Serve immediately.

TOMATO PIE WITH CORNMEAL CRUST



Tomato Pie with Cornmeal Crust image

Tomato pie is a staple in Low Country cuisine, and if you're unfamiliar with this dish, it's not a dessert at all. I layer sliced heirloom tomatoes, my famous pimiento cheese, herbs, onion and ham in a cornmeal pie crust and bake them up. The result is a to-die-for side or main dish that I know you'll love.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/2 cup plain yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
5 tablespoons ice cold water
4 to 5 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1/2 large Vidalia onion, very thinly sliced
4 ounces tasso or smoked ham, diced
1 cup Pimiento Cheese, recipe follows
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
8 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces white Cheddar (preferably Vermont Cheddar), shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces diced pimientos, drained and juice reserved
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the cornmeal crust: Combine the cornmeal, flour and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles small peas. Add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the mixture comes together and forms a dough. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on paper towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow the water from the tomatoes to release, then pat the tomatoes dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out the dough out to an 11-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Fold the edges under and crimp the edges. Fill the pie crust with parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is browned and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully lift out the parchment and weights and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the tomatoes with the House Seasoning. Layer a third of the tomatoes on the bottom of the crust and sprinkle with a third of the herbs. Top with half of the onion, half of the ham and 1/3 cup Pimiento Cheese. Repeat the layers once. Top with the remaining tomatoes, herbs and remaining 1/3 cup Pimiento Cheese. Bake on the bottom rack until the pie is golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes before slicing. Garnish with more fresh herbs, if desired.
  • Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
  • Add the Cheddars, cream cheese, pimientos and mayo to a bowl and mix together. Add the chives, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika and salt and pepper and mix until thoroughly combined.
