GLUTEN-FREE SPICED PUMPKIN PIE



Gluten-Free Spiced Pumpkin Pie image

Pumpkin puree works as the go-to here, but if craving something different, try a winter squash puree. For the gluten-averse, this pie features a rich, rice-cereal crust. Blind-baking it before filling keeps it crisp. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 810.

Yield Makes two 8- to 10-inch crusts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled, plus more for pie plate
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Cut each stick of butter into 8 pieces, and refrigerate until needed. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl, and mix to combine.
  • Add the chilled butter. Using a pastry blender, incorporate the butter into the flour mixture; the mixture should resemble coarse meal with small pieces of butter, the size of small peas, remaining visible.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons ice water over the flour-butter mixture, and blend. Repeat with an additional 2 tablespoons water. At this point, you may have to add more water: When a handful of dough squeezed together just holds its shape, you've added enough; if the dough crumbles, continue incorporating water, 1 tablespoon at a time, checking the consistency after each additional tablespoon.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide into two equal pieces, and place on two separate sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten, and form two disks. Wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Lightly dust a clean, dry work surface with flour. Place the chilled dough in the center of the work surface, and dust the dough as well as the rolling pin with flour. Position the rolling pin on the center of the disk, and begin rolling the dough away from you. Give the disk a quarter turn, and roll again. Continue turning and rolling until you have an even 1/8-inch thickness. Turning the dough as you roll will prevent it from sticking to the work surface. A dry pastry brush is handy to remove any excess flour during and after the rolling process.
  • Lightly butter the pie plate. To minimize stretching when moving the dough, roll it around the pin, lift up, and unroll over the buttered pie plate. Using your fingers, gently pat the dough into place. Trim any excess dough with a paring knife or kitchen shears, leaving a 1-inch overhang; then fold dough under to reinforce the edge.

COCONUT-PECAN TART



Coconut-Pecan Tart image

Elegan and gluten free, this tart starts with a no-bake, press-in crust made with coconut and almond flour-no rolling out or blind-baking required. The filling is an enchanting elixir of butter, sugar, cream, and condensed milk speckled with coarse semisweet chocolate and pecan halves (imagine the best candy bar you've never eaten). Sprinkle on salt flakes, and slice it thin; even a sliver will satisfy.

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable-oil cooking spray or vegetable oil, for pan
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
Pinch of kosher salt
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
8 ounces pecan halves (2 cups)
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (from a 14-ounce can)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the Crust: Spray a 9-by-1-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray (or brush with oil). In a bowl, combine coconut, flour, and kosher salt. Stir in butter and syrup until mixture has the texture of wet sand and no dry flour remains (it should be crumbly but hold together when pinched between your fingers).
  • Sprinkle evenly over bottom of prepared pan, with slightly more of mixture at edges, then press evenly into bottom and up sides of pan (since crust is thin, it's important to distribute evenly before packing down). Refrigerate until ready to use or, covered, up to 1 day.
  • For the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, cream, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer tart pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Pour cooled butterscotch into crust, smoothing to edges with an offset spatula. Sprinkle chocolate and pecans into crust. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over chocolate-pecan mixture.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly in places, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Carefully remove sides from pan and let cool completely (if crust is sticking anywhere along sides of pan, loosen by running a paring knife up and down in sticky spots before removing). To serve, sprinkle with flaky salt and cut into fingers.
