Cream Cheese Filling

1 eight ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
11/4 cups apple pie filling, chopped
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon

9. Chocolate French Silk Pie

Ingredients:

1 unbaked pie crust, store-bought or homemade
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate + extra for shavings
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large pasteurized eggs

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crust in a large 9 inch pie pan. Crimp the edges. Then place a piece of parchment paper over the pie crust and fill the parchment with dried beans or ceramic pie weights. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden. Lift the parchment with the weights out of the pie crust, and allow the crust to cool completely. Meanwhile, melt 6 ounces of chocolate in a double boiler. The moment the chocolate is melted remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer with 1/4 cup sugar. Using a whip attachment, whip on high until the cream is whipped into firm peaks. Move the whipped cream into another bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Using the same mixing bowl and a paddle attachment, beat the butter and 3/4 cup sugar on high until light and fluffy, at least 3 minutes. Turn on low and slowly add the cooled chocolate to the butter mixture, followed by the vanilla and salt. Scrape the mixing bowl and beat again until smooth. Turn the mixer on high. One at a time, add an egg and let the mixer beat the egg for at least 3 minutes, before adding the next egg. This insures a super silky texture. After 12 minutes of beating on high, turn the mixer off. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mixture using a spatula. Fold until smooth. Scoop the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust. Top with the remaining whipped cream. Then shave chocolate over the top with a veggie peeler. Chill for at least 3 hours, until the chocolate filling is firm.

10. Cold Brew Coffee Pie

Ingredients:

1 (3.4 oz) box INSTANT vanilla pudding mix
¾ cup cold brew coffee (any brand is fine; I used sweetened cold brew coffee but unsweetened will work)
½ cup milk or cream
1 Tbsp pure coffee extract (or less if you want a less strong coffee flavor)
1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
1 prepared Oreo cookie crust
Whipped cream, for garnish
Dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, for garnish

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding dry mix, the cold brew coffee, the milk and the coffee extract. Whisk until combined and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Fold in the Cool Whip completely, making sure to get the bottom! Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth out the top. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Just before serving, pipe on whipped cream and garnish with dark chocolate-covered espresso beans. Cut into wedges and serve!

11. Peach Raspberry Pie

Ingredients:

Peach-Raspberry Pie

1 recipe flaky pie dough (see below)
3 lbs firm-ripe peaches (about 6 large)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, divided
9 tablespoons sugar, divided
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch salt
8 oz raspberries (about 2 cups)

Flaky Pie Dough

1 lb + 2 oz (4 cups) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 oz (2 sticks) butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
5 oz (1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons) lard, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup cold water
3 tablespoons cream or milk (or a whole egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water), to glaze
1-2 tablespoons turbinado, demerara or sanding sugar (regular old sugar will work, too)

Directions:

Prepare the crust. When you are ready to bake the pie, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 425°F. Cut the peaches into slices about 1-inch thick and place them in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss with the lemon juice and ½ cup of the sugar. Set aside to rest for 20-30 minutes. Pour off the juice from the peaches discarding all of it except for ½ cup. Toss the peaches (and ½ cup juice) with two tablespoons of the cornstarch, the ginger and a pinch of salt. Place the raspberries in a medium mixing bowl and toss with the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of sugar. To fill the pie crust, pour half of the peach slices onto your well-chilled or frozen bottom crust. Arrange half of the raspberries over the peaches. Top with the rest of the peach slices and then the rest of the raspberries. Cover your fruit with your top crust. (Here’s a great tutorial on how to weave a lattice-top crust if you want to go that route.) Trim the edges to overhang by 1/2 inch. Fold the top edges of the lattice inside the bottom crust. Place the filled and topped pie back in the freezer to chill for 15-20 minutes. Brush the top crust with cream, milk or egg wash and then sprinkle with the turbinado, demerara or sanding sugar. Place the pie on a sheet pan and bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the crust is dark golden brown, about 45-60 minutes longer. I like my crust deeply caramelized; if you like yours less dark, feel free to take your pie out earlier. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool a bit and firm up before slicing. Leftovers keep best covered at room temperature overnight. If you need to keep your pie for more than a day, cover tightly and store in the fridge. Makes 6-8 servings.

12. Oreo Chunk Cookie Pie

Ingredients:

1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup butter 1½ sticks, softened
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup Oreo crumbs
12 Oreos quartered

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325° F. Beat the eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. Add in the flour, Oreo crumbs, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla. Beat in butter until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips. Put mixture into pie shell and even the mixture out in the shell. Put the quartered Oreos on top of the pie and push them in about halfway. Bake for 60 minutes. You can insert a knife or toothpick but just be aware melted chocolate will get all over it. Look for a browned and crisp top of the pie to know when it is done.

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place the cream cheese and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat of high until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl, then beat in the eggs. Scrape the bowl again, then set the mixer on low and mix in cream, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg until very smooth. Pour the cinnamon filling into the prepared pie pan. Bake for 35 minutes, until the center seems set when giggled, but not totally firm. Bake another 5 minutes if needed. Cool completely. Cover and chill. Take out of the refrigerator 1 hour before serving. Dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar. Cut and serve with whipped cream if desired.

15. Samoas Cookie Pie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for sprinkling
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, loosely laid in measuring cup (not packed)
two-thirds of one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (about 10 ounces)
4 to 5 ounces salted caramel sauce (use homemade salted caramel or storebought, regular caramel sauce may be substituted)
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for drizzling

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish very well with cooking spray; set aside. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. Turn batter out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until edges firm up slightly and center will have begun to set up a bit. It’s by no means done, but pie will be returned to oven to bake another 25 minutes or so. Remove pie dish from oven, and evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup chocolate chips over the crust. Evenly sprinkle the coconut. Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk (just eyeball it). Evenly drizzle the caramel sauce (just eyeball it). Return pan to oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until there’s slightly bubbling near the edge of dish and the center has dried out some and looks more set. Cookie pie will firm up more as it cools. In the last 10 minutes of baking, watch it like a hawk because the coconut, caramel, and sweetened condensed milk will all be prone to burning; better to underbake than overbake if you’re unsure. Allow pie to cool in dish on a wire rack while you melt the chocolate for drizzling by adding 3/4 cup chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl and heat to melt, about 1 minute on high power. Stop to check and stir and heat in 10-second increments until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Using a spoon (or pastry bag or ziptop bag with corner cut off if you want to be fancier but I didn’t bother), evenly drizzle the chocolate in long vertical lines, parallel to each other, spaced about 1/2-inch apart. Pie doesn’t have to be cooled to add the chocolate drizzle. Allow pie to continue to cool on wire rack for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing and serving. Don’t slice too early because chocolate drizzle needs to set and interior of pie needs to firm up or you’ll have a literal hot mess. Pie is best fresh, but will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. I store it by slicing into small wedges, wrapping each wedge individually in plasticwrap, and putting those in a large ziptop bag.

16. Coconut Cream Pie

Ingredients:

1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust, cooled completely
1 and ½ cups (130 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
¼ cup (32 grams) cornstarch
1 cup (240ml) half and half
1 cup (240ml) canned coconut milk*
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons (45 grams) butter, cut into tablespoon sized pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the whipped cream

1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the sweetened shredded coconut onto a large baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, stirring a few times, until the coconut is toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the half and half, coconut milk, and eggs until fully combined. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the saucepan with the sugar and cornstarch mixture and whisk until fully combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Allow to boil for one minute, the mixture should be pretty thick at this point. Remove from the heat and stir in one tablespoon of butter at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and 1 cup of the toasted coconut (reserve the rest for the top). Cover with plastic wrap, placing the plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard, and allow to stand in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, stir the filling, and scoop it into the prepared pie crust. Spread the filling out into one even layer. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pie for 2-3 hours or until completely chilled and firm. To make the whipped cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held mixer, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until stiff peaks form. Scoop the whipped cream onto the filling and spread it out into one even layer. Top with the remaining ½ cup of toasted coconut. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

19. Strawberry Crumble Pie

Ingredients:

1 single frozen pie crust, do not thaw
filling
1 1/2 pounds strawberries, washed and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
juice of 1 lemon
4 Tbsp cornstarch or 5 Tbsp tapioca flour

3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 Tbsp cold butter, cut in small pieces

Directions:

Set oven to 400F. Toss the strawberries with the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside. Make the crumble topping by cutting the butter into the flour and sugars. Use your fingertips or two forks to blend it all together until it becomes coarse crumbles. If you like, carefully remove the frozen pie crust from its tin and put it into your own pie dish. Set the dish on a baking sheet to catch any dripping juices. Transfer the berries to the pie crust, but leave any extra juices behind. Mound them in the center of the pie and top with the crumble mixture. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 375F for another 40 minutes, or until the top is browned and the juices are bubbling. Let cool completely before slicing.

20. Frozen Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie

Ingredients:

For the crust

1¼ c. chocolate cookie or graham cracker crumbs
½ c. pretzel crumbs
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp. dark brown sugar

For the filling

8 oz. (1 block) cream cheese, at room temperature
1¼ c. smooth peanut butter
¾ c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 c. heavy whipping cream

For the topping

½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. milk chocolate chips
½ c. heavy whipping cream
⅓ c. chopped pretzels
½ c. chopped peanut butter cups

Directions:

To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium mixing bowl combine the cookie or graham cracker crumbs, pretzel crumbs, butter, and brown sugar. Toss with a spoon until moist. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish (I recommend a pie dish with a tall rim). Freeze for 10 minutes, then place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. To make the filling: Using a stand or handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix until combined. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold in half of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Fold the remaining whipped cream in until smooth and creamy. Pour into the cooled crust, then spread into an even layer.

For the topping: Combine the chocolate and cream in a 2 cup glass measuring cup or a medium size microwave-safe bowl, heat at half power for one minute, stir then repeat. Remove and whisk for 1 minute until smooth. Spread over the filling, then top with chunks of peanut butter cups and pretzels. Chill for 2 hours, remove 10 minutes before serving and cut with a sharp knife (rinse under warm water if needed to get a nice clean cut). Serve cold.

21. Cranberry Pear Pie

Ingredients:

2 pie crusts
1 cup pear juice, reduced
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
5 pears, peeled and sliced into thin chunks (about 1″ inch)
2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen (if using frozen, do not thaw first)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, very cold and cut into tiny pieces
1 large egg
1 teaspoon milk
Turbinado sugar, optional

Directions:

Lightly spray a 9″ pie pan with non-stick spray; set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Roll one piece of pie crust into a 12″ round, then carefully place it in the prepared pie pan. Using your hands, gently fit the dough into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Sprinkle the bottom of the pie crust with one teaspoon of flour and one teaspoon of granulated sugar, mixing them together so they evenly coat the bottom of the crust. Trim the crust with kitchen shears, leaving one inch of pie crust overhang. Place pan in the refrigerator until needed. Roll the second piece of pie crust into a 12″ round. Using a ruler and a paring knife, cut 18 strips, each about a 1/2 inch wide. Don’t worry if they end up being a little uneven – it happens! In groups of three, gently braid the strips. Carefully transfer the braids onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the refrigerator until needed. Place the pear juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until you have 1/4 cup of pear juice reduction; about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until needed. In medium bowl combine both sugars, cornstarch, and spices; set aside. In a large bowl combine pears, cranberries, pear juice reduction, and lemon juice. Add the dry mixture and toss well to coat. Using a slotted spoon, fill the chilled pie crust with the cranberry pear filling, leaving excess juices that drip through the spoon behind. Sprinkle the butter pieces on top of the fruit filling. Remove the pie crust braids from the refrigerator and place them on top of the filling. Tuck the excess dough around the edges under itself and crimp the crust using your thumb and index finger. Place the pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees (F). Make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and milk until well combined. Brush the egg wash over the braids and crust of the unbaked pie, then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar, if using. Place the pie on a large baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees (F), and continue baking for an additional 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. To avoid over browning, you may want to place a piecrust shield on the pie after 30 minutes of baking. Carefully remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting, about 6 hours. This pie will keep, loosely covered, at room temperature for one day. You may also tightly wrap it and store it in the fridge for up to one week.

Lemon Filling

4 large eggs

Add the butter, replace the cover, and blend again on high until smooth. Set aside. In a food processor, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and continue to pulse until the mixture looks sandy and the butter is fully incorporated into the flour and sugar. Place an 11-inch tart pan on a baking sheet. Pour the crust mixture into the pan. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Pour the filing into the crust, then transfer the tart into the oven. Bake until the center is almost set, 30-35 minutes. Cool the tart completely. When ready to serve, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and cut into slices.
