Dawn.ny (02:53:57) : Peach Melba Ice Cream Pie

2 pints peach ice cream (or low fat frozen yogurt)
9" pre-made graham cracker crust
1 pint raspberries
1/2 c sugar
whipped topping
mint leaves and fresh fruit (I use blueberries, but strawberries would also look nice) for garnish

Soften ice cream and place into pie shell. Combine sugar and raspberries and pour sauce over pie. Top with whipped topping and garnish as desired.BB,.California (01:48:43) : Chocolate Cream Pie

35 vanilla wafers
6 tablespoons butter - softened
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate - chopped
2 egg yolks - lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup heavy cream - whipped
chopped walnuts - for garnish

Directions: Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and blend until fine crumbs form. Place the crumbs in a mixing bowl and using your hands, knead in the softened butter until well combined and crumbly. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a glass pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. For the filling - In a heavy saucepan mix together the cornstarch, salt, sugar, milk and chopped chocolate. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Next, stir a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly. Place back on the stove for 2 minutes more. Do not boil or it will curdle. Remove from heat. Finally, stir in the vanilla and pour filling into the pie crust. Chill well. To prevent a skin from forming as the filling cools, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the hot filling. Garnish with whipped cream and nuts.BB,.California (01:46:09) : Black Bottom Butterscotch Cream Pie

***FOR THE SHELL***
1 cup pecans
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter -- cut into bits (6 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ice water
raw rice for weighting the shell
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate -- (not unsweetened)
1/4 cup heavy cream
***FOR THE FILLING***
1 tablespoon bourbon
2 tablespoons water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin -- (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
3/4 cup heavy cream
***FOR DECORATION***
1/4 cup sugar
8 pecan halves -- up to 10
1 cup heavy cream

Make the shell:

In a food processor grind coarse the pecans with the sugar and transfer the mixture to a bowl. In the food processor blend together the flour, the butter, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal and add the flour mixture to the pecan mixture. Add the ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, and press it onto the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch (1-quart) pie plate, crimping the edge decoratively. Chill the shell for 1 hour, prick it all over with a fork, and line it with foil. Fill the foil with the rice, bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 425F. oven for 10 minutes, and remove the foil and rice carefully. Reduce the heat to 375F., bake the shell for 12 to 15 minutes more, or until it is golden brown, and let it cool on a rack.

In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate with the cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth, spread the mixture in the bottom and halfway up the side of the shell, and let it cool. Chill the shell.

Make the filling while the shell is chilling:

In a large metal bowl combine the bourbon and the water, sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid, and let it soften. In a saucepan heat the brown sugar, the milk, and the salt over moderate heat, stirring, until the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved and whisk in the butter. (The mixture will appear slightly curdled.) In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks, add the hot milk mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until it is thickened and registers 160F. on a candy thermometer and add it to the gelatin mixture. Stir in the vanilla and the nutmeg and stir the mixture until it is cold and the consistency of raw egg whites, and remove the bowl from the ice water. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, fold it into the custard mixture gently but thoroughly, and pour the filling into the chilled shell. Chill the pie for 6 hours or overnight.

Decorate the pie:

In a very small skillet or saucepan cook the sugar over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt, cook, stirring with a fork, until it is melted completely and turns a golden caramel, and reduce the heat to low. Working quickly, add the pecans, turning them to coat them thoroughly with the caramel, and with the fork transfer them, 1 at a time, to a piece of foil to cool. In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, drop it by heaping tablespoons around the edge of the pie, and arrange a caramelized pecan in the center of each dollop.
