Beauty Blend Base Pie Crust
Description
This is a great pie base to use sometimes as it is lighter than our Traditional Pie Crust (page 408). Although delicious, you don’t want to use heavy crusts all of the time. Take out the sweetener, add a dash more salt, and it also makes a good savory base for a quiche (see the variation below). You should know ahead of time that this crust won’t press into the sides of your pie plate as it is more of a wet mixture than most pie crusts before baking. It is only a base for the bottom of your pie. It has the same ingredients as the Beauty Blend Graham Crackers (page 504), but in a smaller quantity so your crust doesn’t get too thick. This recipe is found in the "Crackers, Crusts, Toppings & More" Chapter, page 461 of the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook.
Multiple Serve Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with coconut oil or grease with butter.
-
Put the Baking Blend, gelatin, collagen, baking powder, salt, and sweetener in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few times to coat with flour. Add the egg whites and vanilla and blend for another few seconds. Take the blade out of the food processor and stir the ingredients well. (Or blend all in a bowl with a stick blender.)
-
Scrape the mixture into the pie plate and spread it out with a spatula. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the crust cool slowly in the turned-off oven. Once cooled, add your pie filling.
Note
- One-Sixth of the recipe is a Fuel Pull. More becomes a very Light S.
- SAVORY BEAUTY BLEND PIE CRUST: Omit the sweetener and the vanilla and increase the salt to 4 pinches.
