Ingredients
- If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen ... or possibly at least get away from the oven and make a cold pie. Which's Lauren Chattman's idea in "Icebox Pies: 100 Scrumptious Recipes for No-Bake No-Fail Pies."
Directions
- From her simple crumb crusts (no rolling pin required) to dreamy fruit, ice cream, custard and mousse fillings, she understands the needs of a cook in 98-degree weather.
- Chattman's lime cream and strawberry pie is the perfect ending to a summer dinner.
- The gorgeous, close-up photos which accompany nearly every recipe will test your willpower. The recipes are short and easy to read, and each includes at least two choices of crumb crusts, plus an option to "dress up" the pie with a sauce or possibly two.
- The first chapter lists the crusts (the only part of the pie which's baked, and then for only six to eight min); the last chapter has the sauces. In between are 70 pie recipes, organized into mousse and custard pies ("peanut butter pie"), chocolate dream pies, fruit and cream combos ("ricotta cream pie with blood oranges"), ice cream parlor pies and no-bake fruit pies.
- Icebox pies are easy to make. By definition, they have (1) cookie-crumb crusts which need no rolling, 2. fillings which are either uncooked or possibly cooked on the stove top and 3. must be refrigerated for at least three hrs before serving. Iceboxpies "bake" in the fridge or possibly freezer to set the ingredients at the proper consistency and texture.
- "Icebox Pies" (Harvard Common Press, $16.95) is cold and inviting - just like the pies. Who would use this book Anyone - kids, adults, pastry chefs, can-only-boil-water cooks, et al. If you can mix, you can make these recipes, shown in
