Peach Pecan Ice Cream Pie With Caramel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Gently stir the ice cream and caramels-reserving a few caramels to sprinkle on top-in a large bowl, then transfer the mixture to the crust and sprinkle the remaining caramels on top. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze until very hard, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup, baking soda and 1/2 cup buttermilk and bring just to a boil, stirring constantly. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue to cook and stir until the mixture boils, becomes a deep amber and reaches 220 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk, then the vanilla and salt-the mixture will bubble and foam, so be careful! Once smooth, return to the heat and cook until it has returned to a deep amber color and thickened slightly, another 3 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Remove the pie from the freezer. Remove the pie from the metal pie plate to a platter. Slice and pour the caramel over the slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in medium bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust is set and pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Make caramel sauce:
• Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir over low heat until any caramel bits dissolve and sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in vanilla. Let stand until cool but still pourable, about 1 hour.
• Drizzle 1/4 cup cooled caramel sauce over bottom of crust. Freeze until caramel sets, about 10 minutes. Spread 1 quart ice cream over caramel in crust. Sprinkle chopped pecans over ice cream. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over ice cream. Freeze until caramel sets, about 10 minutes. Spread remaining ice cream over. Freeze until top of pie is firm, about 1 hour.
• Arrange pecan halves in 3 concentric circles around top of pie. Drizzle 1/4 cup caramel sauce over pie. Freeze pie until frozen solid, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 5 days ahead. Cover tightly with foil; keep frozen. Cover and chill remaining caramel sauce.)
• Rewarm remaining caramel sauce over low heat, stirring often. Cut around pan sides to loosen pie. Let pie soften slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes. Remove pan sides. Serve pie with warm caramel sauce.

Steps:

• In a food processor combine the ground pecans, flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the egg white and blend it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount of dough together, if it is crumbly, add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tray with nonstick spray. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 2 foot square, then use a small bowl 3-inches in diameter or a large 3-inch ring mold as a guide to cut out circles. They should be slightly larger in diameter than the muffin tin hole, so when pressed in, the edges come half-way up the sides of the tin.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs until frothy then blend in sugars. Stir in the melted butter, vanilla, syrup and salt until well blended. Arrange the pecans on the bottoms of the tart shells. Pour in the filling to fill the shells almost to the top. Bake until the filling is set and slightly puffed, about 25 to 30 minutes. Test for doneness by sticking a thin knife in the center of the pie, if it comes out pretty clean, you're good to go. Transfer the pies to a rack and cool.
• While the pie is baking, make the Sweet Tea Caramel Sauce. Begin my making the tea. Bring 2 cups of cold water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Add the tea bags, cover and let steep for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags (squeeze them out) and then return to a simmer until it has reduced by half - so you have 1 cup of really strong tea remaining. Add the 1/2 cup of sugar to the saucepan and continue to simmer over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pot around, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and looks like syrup, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour in the cream, be careful as it will bubble up, and continue to cook for 1 more minute. Serve with individual pecan pies and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) In a saucepan over low heat, combine caramels, butter and milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Gradually mix in the melted caramel mixture. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool until filling is firm.

Steps:

• Prepare the puff pastry: Cube 1 cup/226 grams of butter (2 sticks) and place in the freezer while you measure out remaining ingredients.
• In a food processor, pulse to combine flour and salt. Add remaining 1/4 cup/57 grams butter (1/2 stick) to food processor; pulse to combine. Add the chilled butter cubes from the freezer and pulse twice, 1 second or less for each pulse.
• Add 1/3 cup/80 milliliters water, pulse very quickly once, then add another 1/3 cup/80 milliliters water and pulse once. Dough will still look dry and floury in spots, but it should look as if some areas are starting to clump together. But it will not form a ball. If the dough looks very dry, add another tablespoon or two of water, taking care to pulse it in only once. Do not overpulse this dough; the butter must remain in distinct large chunks, or the dough won't puff.
• Turn out the floury dough crumbles onto a lightly floured work surface and press them together into a rough rectangle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll rectangle out until it's 1/2 inch/13 millimeters thick (about 6 by 9 inches, or 15 by 23 centimeters) with the short side of the rectangle closest to you. The dough will be dry and still very crumbly in spots, but don't worry: It will come together as you continue to fold and roll.
• Use a pastry scraper or spatula to fold the top third of the dough down, then the bottom third of the dough up, so it's folded like a letter. (Dough will still be crumbly, and that's O.K.) Turn the folded dough 90 degrees, using a pastry scraper to push edges together if they fall apart. Press rolling pin on top of the layered dough several times to seal it, then roll into a rectangle that is 1/2 inch (13 millimeters) thick, always rolling from open end to open end. Continue rolling, folding and turning until the dough looks smooth and comes together, about four 90-degree turns.
• For the final fold, fold the edges of the dough rectangle like a book. To do this, fold the top and bottom parts into the center of the rectangle, so their ends meet. Then fold one half over the other. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill it for 45 minutes (or up to 3 days).
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss cut peaches with 1 tablespoon sugar and let sit while you make the caramel.
• In a 9-inch ovenproof skillet, combine 2 tablespoons water with remaining 2/3 cup/150 grams sugar and cook over medium heat, swirling the pan, until very dark amber brown in color, about 8 minutes. To test the color, dribble some of the caramel on a white plate.
• Pour the peaches and their juices into the skillet; the caramel will sizzle a bit, so stand back. Cook peaches, stirring gently once or twice, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in tapioca, vanilla, cardamom and salt. Taste and add 1 teaspoon or so lemon juice, if necessary, to bring out the flavor of the peaches if desired.
• Using a sharp knife, cut chilled puff pastry in half. Wrap half the pastry back up in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Then roll out the other half on a lightly floured surface into a round that is 1/4 inch (6 millimeters) thick. Prick the round all over with the tines of a fork. Place pastry on top of the peaches in the skillet, tucking the edges into the skillet. (Be careful: The skillet may still be hot.) Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
• Put the skillet on a rimmed baking pan to catch any overflow, and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until top is golden brown and has puffed, and juices are bubbling, about 20 more minutes. Let pie cool for at least 20 minutes before serving from the skillet, preferably with ice cream.

Steps:

• Stir butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir in heavy whipping cream and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans.

Steps:

• In med bowl, place all ingredients except pecans. Whisk until well blended and pudding is dissolved.
• Cover and chill for at least 6 hours.
• Follow instructions for your ice cream maker.
• Add nuts when they suggest.

Steps:

• Combine flour, pecans, sugar, and oats in a large bowl. Add margarine and mix well. Pat this mixture on a large baking sheet with sides. Bake at 400F stirring occasionally for 15 minutes Crumble while warm. Cool.
• Press half of crumb mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. Drizzle with half the sauce.
• Spread ice cream over crumb mixture and add remaining crumbs and sauce. Cover and freeze. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
• ( line pan first with saran, wax paper or parchment paper, so it lifts out of dish easily to a flat surface for slicing)Also, I cut it and wrap in saran individual pieces to take out of freezer when needed. This is an extremely rich dessert so I cannot judge portions. I would not serve more than about a 3" square per person.
