CHOCOLATE CASHEW PIE

Steps:

• Crush the biscuits to a fine crumb (I did this with the end of a rolling pin in the bowl) and stir in the drinking chocolate powder.
• Melt the butter and mix into the biscuits.
• Press the mixture into the base and sides of a 20cm flan or pie dish with the back of a spoon, then leave to set in the fridge for half an hour or so.
• Bring 120ml of cream up to a near boil in a pan. Add the chocolate and leave to melt for a couple of minutes.
• Stir until just combined, then pour onto the biscuit base. Level and leave to set in the fridge for an hour or so, or until the ganache has set.
• Whip the remaining cream to soft peak stage.
• Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and nut butter together until just combined, then fold in the cream, a third at a time, until just combined.
• Spoon onto the chocolate ganache and level. Dust with a little cocoa powder and serve.

CHOCOLATE, CASHEW, AND MAPLE PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• In food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice water evenly over mixture and pulse or gently stir with fork until incorporated.
• Squeeze small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing or stirring until incorporated. Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface, gather into ball, and flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Dough can be made ahead and frozen up to 1 week. Defrost in refrigerator before proceeding.)
• On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 12-inch round, then transfer to pie pan. Trim edge, leaving 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under and crimp edge decoratively. Prick bottom and side of shell all over with fork, then chill shell 30 minutes. (Shell can be assembled to this point ahead: Wrap entire pan well in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days, or freeze up to 1 week. Defrost in refrigerator before continuing.)
• While shell chills, preheat oven to 425°F.
• Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans, then bake until pastry is set and pale golden on rim, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until pale golden all over, 5 to 7 minutes more. Cool on rack.
• Make filling and bake pie:
• In medium saucepan over moderately high heat, simmer maple syrup, uncovered, until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Carefully whisk in butter (mixture may splatter), then sugar and salt. Remove from heat and let cool to warm room temperature.
• In medium bowl, whisk together eggs and brandy. Whisk egg mixture into cooled maple syrup mixture.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread chopped chocolate in even layer over bottom of prepared crust. Sprinkle nuts in second even layer, then pour filling over nuts. Bake until filling is puffed and center is just set, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. (Pie can be made up to 1 day ahead. Let cool, then cover loosely and store at room temperature.)
• To serve:
• Using electric mixer, beat crème fraîche until it holds soft peaks. Serve with pie.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE II

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine pudding and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Fold in whipped topping; stir until completely blended.
• Pour filling into pie crust. Freeze pie until firm. Partially thaw in refrigerator, for about 2 hours or so, before serving. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer. Leftover pie sometimes gets a little soft in the refrigerator, and doesn't hold its shape. It still tastes good, though. If you want perfect looking slices after you make the first incision, store in freezer and thaw as needed.

GOLDEN CASHEW PIE

Steps:

• Dissolve the powdered milk in the 1 cup of water and set aside.
• Place pie crust in 9 inch pan and spread the cashews evenly over the bottom of the crust.
• In a food processor grate the potato until finely chopped adding enough of the reconstituted milk to make it smooth but not very wet; use no less than 2 Tablespoons but no more than 1/4 cup.
• Grate the the lemon rind and add to the potato mixture, if you peel long strips of zest off the lemon without getting any white on it, you can use the food processor to grate the zest too instead of doing it by hand.
• Transfer the potato, lemon mixture to a large mixer bowl;.
• with an electric mixer, beat in the eggs, sugar, syrup, vanilla and salt, beating until smooth.
• Pour the mixture over the cashews in the pie pan and bake in a preheated 375ºF oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until filling is set.
• Check pie crust half way through cooking time, if crust is browning to quickly cover the edges of the crust will foil to stop it from getting to brown before the pie is set.
• Cool thoroughly before cutting, serve plain or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
