Frozen Adobe Pie Food

FROZEN AVOCADO-LIME-COCONUT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with vegetable oil. Pulse the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the vegetable oil and coconut oil and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool completely.
• Clean out the food processor. Add the avocados, cream of coconut, lime zest and juice and salt and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and fold in the whipped topping until combined. Spoon the filling into the crust and smooth the top. Freeze until firm, about 6 hours. Serve with more whipped topping.

FROZEN LEMONADE PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In medium bowl, stir together the cracker crumbs, sugar and the melted butter until combined and resembles a wet sand mixture. Pour into a pie plate and press the mixture firmly along the bottom and sides. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping. Fold the two together gently until combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy. Add the lemonade concentrate and continue to gently fold. Be sure to avoid letting the mixture get too liquid-y. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Place in the freezer to chill overnight.
• Sprinkle with a little candied lemon peel and serve!

FROZEN STRAWBERRY LEMONADE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Bring the strawberries, raspberries, sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is syrupy and the fruit is very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the solids with a rubber spatula; discard the solids. Let the syrup cool.
• If the cream cheese is a little stiff, soften it in the microwave in 10-second intervals. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add the berry syrup and the lemon zest and juice and beat until smooth.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy cream with clean beaters until medium peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Spoon the filling into the crust and spread with the back of a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
• About 10 minutes before serving, remove the pie from the freezer to soften slightly. Make the topping: Microwave the jelly in a medium microwave-safe bowl until runny, 20 to 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth. Add the strawberries and gently stir to coat. Let macerate 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the tart from the pan and transfer to a plate. Top with the strawberry mixture.

Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the orange zest. Pour the plain filling into a 9-inch graham cracker crust. Spoon the zest mixture over the top, then swirl with the back of the spoon. Cover and freeze until set, about 4 hours.

FROZEN LEMON CREAM PIE

• In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the butter. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan. Evenly press across the bottom and up the sides to make a crust (I use a metal measuring cup to press the crumbs). Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the condensed milk, lemon zest and juice, sugar, and egg yolks. Whisk until all the ingredients are completely blended. Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
• Top with whipped cream and garnish with candied lemon peel.

FREEZER APPLE PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the 4 1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar for 1 minute. Add the butter and mix just until it's a crumbly, sandy mixture. The pieces of butter should still be visable. In a small bowl, stir the water and vinegar together. With the mixer running at medium speed, drizzle in the water-vinegar mixture and mix just until a dough forms. Again, the bits of butter should be visable.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide the dough in half, and shape it into 2 round, flat disks. Wrap them separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using. When the time comes to roll out the dough, let the dough warm up for a few minutes at room temperature. Dust a work surface with just a few tablespoons of flour and keep some extra flour at hand. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and start rolling outward from the center with quick, light strokes. Don't worry if the edges split a bit; concentrate on getting a good circle going from the center. Lift up and rotate the dough a quarter turn every minute or so to help ensure even rolling. If it gets sticky, sprinkle on a bit more flour, but don't do this more than 2 or 3 times; the dough will absorb too much flour. Instead, put it back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm the butter up. Keep rolling until the circle is at least 2 inches larger than the pan.
• Set a 10-inch metal pie pan nearby. Transfer the crust to the pan by folding it gently in quarters, lift it up, position the center point on the center of the pan, and unfold it into the pan. Make sure that the dough is allowed to settle completely into the pan. Don't stretch and press the dough into the corners; stretched dough will likely shrink back when you bake it. Instead, lift the edges of the crust to let it settle down into the corners. If the dough tears a bit, don't be concerned; it's easily repaired. Using scissors or a sharp knife, trim the dough to within 3/4-inch of the rim. Use any extra scraps to patch the crust, pressing with your fingers (wet them if necessary) or set aside. Leave the edges of the bottom crust hanging over the rim. Roll out the second piece of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Roll the dough up onto the rolling pin, then unroll it onto the sheet pan. Chill the finished crust or crusts for 20 to 30 minutes before filling the pie.
• To make the filling: Add sugar to a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring sugar to a boil and cook until caramelized, sugar will be a light amber color. Carefully add the butter, spices and apples. Cook for about 5 minutes, until almost tender. Off the heat add the Southern Comfort and flambe the mixture, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the mixture. Reserve the juice (it can be frozen) for a sauce for the pie. Toss the apples with the cornstarch and spread them out on a sheet pan to cool.
• Fill the pie with the cooled apples then rest the top crust on top, trim the top and bottom flush to the pan. Pinch the edges together, turning them under all the way around. Then press the thumb and forefinger of one hand together. Use them to gently push the thick dough rim outward, while pushing inward with the forefinger of the other hand, so that they intersect in a "V" with the dough in between. Repeat all around the rim to make a wavy edge. Snip a "X" shape vent in the top center of the pie using scissors or a sharp paring knife. Wrap the pie in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to bake and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Before baking the frozen pie, brush the surface of the piecrust with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and bake until light golden brown, about 1 hour.
