Posted by : Lita Lotzkar Pie: Orange Pie with Pistachio Crust - dairy
Ingredients: 2 cups unsalted shelled pistachio nuts, finely ground 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup matzo cake flour (finely ground) 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 cups fresh orange juice 3 cups sweetened condensed milk 4 large egg yolks 2 tablespoons orange zest Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the crust, combine the ground nuts, sugar, matzo cake meal and butter in a bowl and blend. Place the mixture in a deep 9-inch pie plate, and press the crust into shape with your fingers. Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Pour the orange juice into a saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce to 1/3 cup. Allow to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl combine the condensed milk and yolks and blend thoroughly with a whisk. Add the reduced juice and the orange zest. Pour the filling into the prebaked shell. Bake the pie for 5 minutes. Remove the pie and refrigerate it overnight or for at least 12 hours so that the filling sets enough for easy slicing. ------ dsr@philabs.philips.com (Deborah S. Rech)
