Raspberry White Chocolate Pie Recipes

RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Rinse the raspberries and let them dry completely.
• Cook the pie shell in the oven. Cool.
• Cover the bottom of the pie shell with a thick layer of raspberries, reserving some for the top.
• In the meantime, melt the white chocolate using your desired method. The recommended method is with a double boiler, but you could also melt it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes with 2 spoons of water at medium power. I have also done this right on the stove at very low heat.
• Mix the melted chocolate with sour cream to give it a smooth aspect and thick enough to pour over the raspberries. I play around with the amount of sour cream a tad.
• Pour chocolate mixture over the berries.
• Cover the top of the pie with the berries you reserved.
• Refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475°F. In medium bowl, cut shortening into flour and salt, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured rolling pin. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; press with tines of fork or flute if desired. Prick bottom and side thoroughly with fork. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely on wire rack, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place orange liqueur in 2-quart saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over liqueur; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Stir in 3/4 cup of the whipping cream; heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in white chocolate until melted and smooth. Transfer to medium bowl; refrigerate about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cool but not set.
• In chilled medium bowl, beat remaining 3/4 cup whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into white chocolate mixture. Spoon mixture into baked crust. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until filling begins to set. Arrange raspberries over filling. Place currant jelly in small microwavable bowl; microwave uncovered on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Brush jelly over raspberries. Refrigerate until serving.
