Diamond Of California Nut Pie Crusts

Pecan Pie Crust by Diamond

Century-old producer of specialty nuts Diamond of California has introduced what the company says is the first ready-to-use nut pie crusts available on grocery shelves nationwide, as well as the categorys first-ever crusts made with farm-grown tree nuts instead of pressed cookie crumbs. Diamonds recipe pulses pecans or walnuts into a fine powder for a moist, crumbly, flavor-packed crust containing a minimal amount of natural, nutritious ingredients, chief among them nuts. The walnut crust is chewy, bold and rich in flavor, and adds a layer of crunch to any filling, while the pecan crust is naturally buttery and slightly sweet, lending a caramel-like flavor to any pie. Either 6-inch crust retails for a suggested $3.99.

How To Make The Best Turtle Pie

Homemade salted caramel sauce is the key to our incredible turtle pie. One batch of caramel sauce makes enough sauce to use in the filling, plus additional sauce for drizzling over the top of the pie!

Once the caramel sauce is ready, we make an easy caramel mousse that becomes our filling. Unflavored powdered gelatin helps set the filling for easy slicing and serving. If youve never worked with gelatin, its a breeze simply add the gelatin to cold water, whisking to combine. Let it stand for 3 minutes , then add to your warm caramel sauce, whisking until dissolved and smooth.

To complete the mousse, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold in the caramel mixture. Transfer the mousse to the Diamond Pecan Nut Pie Crust, then chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator to set the filling. Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, reserved caramel sauce, and chocolate shavings. Creamy and rich, youll love this no-bake turtle pie!

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
  • semisweet chocolate shavings

Dark And Stormy Cream Pie In Diamond Pecan Nut Crust

September 4, 2019 by joythebaker

I made my favorite early autumn pie. Im pretty confident it will be your favorite too.

Heres the vibe: a creamy pie with the spice and tang of ginger, a kick of rum, the brightness of lime, the bitterness of dark chocolate, and the nuttiness of toasty pecan in a brilliant nut crust and candied pie topping.

Its a Dark and Stormy Pie and its early autumn perfection. Spicy enough to compliment the hint of cooler temperatures were looking for in the air and still bright and sweet enough to fit these late summer days.

I developed this pie with a particular crust in mind. Diamond of California just launch their ready-made nut pie crusts and they take any hesitation out of pie baking. Their pecan and walnut pie crusts are crispy and flavorful, totally ready to go, and add more fiber and protein to our pies. Its a win all around!

Last week I celebrated Diamond of California in New York by making and sharing this pie with a crown full of people. Find some inspiration and the recipe for this incredible pie below!

Dark and Stormy pie starts with Diamond of Californias Pecan Nut Crust. Though the crust is perfectly crisp, I lined it with melted dark chocolate. I can always make a case for chocolate. In this pie it adds a delicious layer the cream filling and crisp pecan crust. Adding just the right amount of chocolate depth to this sweet and spicy pie.

For the pie youll need:

Spiced rum.

My favorite thing about this pie: Its NO BAKE!

This homemade Pecan Pie Recipe post is long overdue. I don’t want to brag but I’m kind of famous for my pecan pie.

A decade or so later I entered a cupcake contest in Dallas with a pecan pie cupcake and won that too. Pecan Pie is my dad, my father-in-law, and my husband’s favorite… our love for it runs deep. What I’m saying is: you can trust me when it comes to making the best pecan pie recipe.

And today, I’m finally going to give you that famous, top secret, Grand Champion recipe.

Gluten Free Pie Crust Recipe

How to Make Pecan Pie Cheesecake with Almond Crust–Sooooo Good!

Ingredients1 tbsp butter or coconut oil, melted1 tsp cinnamon

Step one:Prepare your pecans by soaking them in water with a tablespoon of salt overnight. Okay, okay, you dont have to do this but if you are a health nut like me, youll know that nuts contain substances like phytic acid that interfere with the bodys ability to absorb nutrients. Soaking makes them both easier to digest and more nutritious.

In the morning drain and rinse the pecans. Spread the nuts onto a baking pan and roast for several hours at 170 F degrees until oh so crispy and delicious. Now you may be tempted to just use the nuts from the bag. Dont. Roasting is what really makes this crust.

Step two:Once the nuts are good and dry, get out the blender and mix them with the dates and cinnamon to make a sticky dough.

Step three:Melt the butter or coconut oil and add to the mixture. Stir well.

Step four:Spread the batter into your pie plate and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

Voila!

PS. You can pair this gluten free pie crust recipe with my favourite chocolate raspberry pie.

  • High quality tree nuts replace some of the flour and sugar – fewer ingredients, no artificial flavors or sweeteners
  • Convenient ready to use nut pie crust, perfect for sweet or savory

Tips For Baking Pecan Pie

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. You don’t want to put your pie into a cold oven. If you use my homemade pie crust recipe, you do not need to bake the pie crust beforehand.
  • If you find the crust is browning too quickly, you can create a shield out of foil. Cut a hole in the center and only loosely cover the crust.
  • Do not take the pie out too soon. You want the filling to get gorgeously brown and caramelized. If you under-bake, the color will remain pale and the flavors will not fully develop. At 40 minutes remaining the pie will look eggy. At 30 minutes remaining it will be starting to brown and thicken. At 20 minutes remaining it will look like hot caramel. And with only 5-10 minutes left it may even look like burnt caramel.

Store Bought Pie Crust Is A Life Saver

This pie wouldnt be no-bake if I had to make the crust myself. Instead, I reached for a walnut pie crust from Diamond of California, one of their new Ready-to-Use Nut Pie Crusts that recently hit markets. Instead of cookie crumbs, the crust is made from tree nuts! These crusts are made with 10 ingredients or less, and are a more nutritious way to pie than traditional cookie crusts.

Oh yeah, and also theyre delicious! And given that walnuts are the main ingredient in this crust, I know it would be perfect in savory preparations as well.
