Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pie Crust Food

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Cut the cream cheese and butter into 1/2-inch pieces, place in a bowl, and freeze for 15 minutes. Use a coffee or spice grinder or mortar and pestle to grind the psyllium, flax and chia seeds to a fine powder. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor along with the salt, baking powder, and flour. Pulse a few times to combine.
• Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the texture of the crumbs resembles sand, about 20 seconds. While pulsing the food processor, add vinegar and then 3 tablespoons ice water. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingers; if it is very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time (2 tablespoons maximum). Do not over process.
• Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and gather into a ball with your hands. Knead the dough a few times to create a uniform texture. Divide the dough in half and form each piece into a flat disk about 1 inch thick. Wrap each half tightly in plastic and refrigerate until dough is chilled and stiff, at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight). Roll, fill, and bake as desired.
• DO AHEAD: Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.

GLUTEN-FREE CREAM CHEESE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Grease 9-inch glass pie plate with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, place Bisquick mix. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in water; shape into ball with hands. Press dough in bottom and up side of pie plate.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned; remove from oven. Cool while preparing cream cheese and pumpkin fillings. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Add egg yolk; beat well. Spread cream cheese mixture in bottom of partially baked pie crust.
• In large bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, pumpkin, evaporated milk and egg. Carefully pour pumpkin mixture over cream cheese mixture. Bake at 350°F. 15 minutes. Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; bake 30 to 40 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely; about 1 1/2 hours. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until serving time. Garnish each serving with dollop of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

GLUTEN-FREE CREAM CHEESE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Cut butter and cream cheese into flour mixture until you have pea-sized pieces or smaller. (Dough can't really be overworked since there is no gluten).
• Sprinkle with 2 tbsp ice water and stir together with a fork until dough starts to form a ball. Use more water if needed to get dough to form. Don't let it get too wet though.
• When ball starts to form, bring dough together with hands and knead slightly to get a uniform texture. Pat into a disk.
• If you want to roll the crust, let the disk chill in the refrigerator at least one hour, or up to 24 hours. Roll between sheets of parchment paper to desired size. Because of the high butter content keep dough and rolling pin cold for best results.
• You can use the dough without chilling if you want to simply press into shape. If you press it too thin or make a whole, simply patch it by pressing it back together or adding a bit more dough and pressing it inches This is what I usually do to form a bottom crust for a pie. I don't often make a top crust because I hate rolling them out and crimping them to the bottom.
• Fill pie as desired and bake according to the directions for the type of pie you are making. You can blind bake the crust by baking at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool and fill.

GLUTEN-FREE OREO PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole gluten-free Oreos (cream filling and cookie) into a fine crumb. Remove any large pieces of Oreos.
• Stir the Oreo crumbs and melted butter together. Using your hands or a measuring cup, press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 1/2-inch pie dish.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Cool before adding filling of choice.

NO BAKE GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Mix the crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter until it is evenly blended. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a lightly oiled pie plate (I used a 9 1/2-inch plate). Using the flat bottom of a cup or measuring cup helps ensure an even crust.
• Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
• Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and melted chocolate until smooth.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until no lumps remain.
• Using a rubber scraper, stir about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Once that has been stirred in, fold in the remaining whipped cream.
• Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. The pie may also be frozen for a refreshing ice cream pie, just remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
• Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate sauce before serving (optional)

CREAM CHEESE PASTRY - GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese with the butter, stir until smooth. You can use wooden spoon to mix.
• Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Using a clean or gloved hand towards the end of the mixing will quicken the process and bring the mix together quickly.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator and then use as required. If the dough is a little stiff, knead lightly and it will become more pliable.
• Roll out between sheets of baking paper as this stops the pastry from clinging to the work surface and your rolling pin. It also eliminates the need to use extra flour when rolling the dough.
• Cook at the temperature required for your recipe. I have found that there is no need to grease or spray the tins/bakeware.
• The pastry cases I have cooked at fanforced 180°C for about 30 minutes.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well-blended. Press mixture evenly into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• Pour heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• In another bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the stand mixer bowl. Beat for about 2 minutes.
• Fold in whipped cream and sour cream with the cream cheese mixture and mix until completely mixed together.
• Spread cream filling into the cooled pie crust. Place in the fridge.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in water and 1-1/2 cups raspberries.
• Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
• Once raspberry topping is cooled down (make sure it's completely cooled), spread topping over cream cheese filling. Garnish with remaining berries (fresh berries work best as garnish, but frozen will be fine too.
• Serve immediately or chill until serving.
