No-Bake pie recipes?
« on: August 17, 2010, 03:08:54 PM »
I'm itching to make a no-bake pie. The ones I've come across online all involve using Cool Whip, which I just won't do. Does anyone have any good no-bake pie recipes?

In my kitchen, I currently have cook and serve jello, peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar (brown, white, and confectioners), and semi-sweet baking squares, if that helps any. :)

1 teaspoon (5g) lemon juice
1 14 oz. can (415mL) of sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. (227g) cherry pie filling

If you absolutely won't use cool whip, homemade whipped cream is easy.  It's usually a pint of heavy cream and a cup of sugar whipped with a mixer until stiff.  It takes five minutes.

Powdered sugar and a little vanilla work better, chris

Cool Whip is nasty.

Buy the store brand when it's on sale. It keeps forever as long as it isn't opened. Store in a tupperware container once it's opened.

Whipped cream is best with confectioner's sugar. Add some cinnamon into it, for pumpkin or pecan pie.  :drool:

The best thing about cool whip is the container which we use to say was only one molecule different than its filling.  :hi5:

Bingo.

In whipped cream, I agree to use a little cinnamon or even a spot of nutmeg where applicable. I don't like using a lot of sugar in it -- one cup in chris' post upthread in a pint of heavy cream is bigtime overkill to me. More like a tablespoon is plenty.

Can't whip it too long, either. Otherwise you get butter.

I don't know how much I sugar I use....I start with a couple of heaping tablespoons, mix it in, taste it and add more until I like how it tastes. It depends on what it's going on as to how sweet I want it.

The Germans don't sweeten their whipped cream at all - I'd gotten used to that. Of course, German desserts overall aren't nearly as sweet as American desserts are.

No they aren't. I didn't care for the chocolate desserts there, but they do wonderful things with apples though!  :drool:

One thing I miss about Germany is the smell of the bakery about a half block from my quarters in Bad Kreuznach at 0500.

It was enough to rip their doors off the hinges just getting some of those fresh brötchen.

Powder it yourself.  Takes a while but can be done.

Powdered sugar disperses/ blends/ comnines more easily in cold liquids that regular sugar. And, one MUST remember the vanilla......

Granulated sugar can be processed in a blender or food processor to get powdered sugar. Also, it doesn't take quite as much powdered sugar as it does granulated sugar. I have used granulated sugar with success. For a pint, I'll use maybe 1/4 cup. (I never measure)

I use powdered sugar on sliced strawberries or peaches...it makes it syrup-y quicker than granulated.

The best one I ever had was from my ex MiL she took a frozen lemonade and a 1/2 cup of condensed milk mixed it with a tub of Cool Whip and put it in a ghram cracker crust stuck it in the fridge for 3 or so hours till it all firmed up. YUMMY

Apfelstrudel is a southern specialty (now, don't get all Reb on me now!  :rotf: ). There's a whole lot of German desserts out there besides that one.

One of my favorites (and it's rich as hell) was Bienenstich (bee sting). Sliced almonds in a candy glaze sandwiching a bit of cake filled with pastry cream.

To die for.
