COFFEE CREAM WALNUT PIE

Categories     Dairy     Dessert     Freeze/Chill

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
1 c. fine graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
Filling:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. strong cold coffee
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. hot strong coffee
1 c. whipping cream
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Crust: Mix crust ingredients well and press firmly into a 9" pie plate. Bake about 8 mins in 350 degree F oven. Cool. Filling: Sprinkle gelatin over cold coffee to soften. Mix together sugar, flour and salt. Stir in hot coffee and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Chill until mixture is slightly thicker than unbeaten egg whites. Whip cream until stiff and stir in vanilla. Gently fold the gelatin mixture into the whipped cream. Pour into pie shell and chill until firm. Garnish with whipped cream rosettes, instant coffee granules, and whole walnut halves.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: Making the crust ahead of time allows it to chill and firm up, resulting in a flaky and crispy texture. You can make the crust up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use Fresh Walnuts: Fresh walnuts provide the best flavor and texture for the filling. If using store-bought walnuts, make sure they are fresh and not rancid. You can toast the walnuts in a pan or oven to enhance their flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Filling: The walnut cream filling should be cooked until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Overcooking can result in a grainy or curdled filling.
  • Chill the Pie Before Serving: Chilling the pie allows the filling to set and firm up, resulting in a clean and even slice. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  • Garnish with Whipped Cream or Fresh Berries: A dollop of whipped cream or a handful of fresh berries adds a touch of sweetness and visual appeal to the pie.

The walnut cream pie is a classic dessert that combines a flaky crust with a rich and creamy filling. With its nutty flavor and smooth texture, this pie is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
