Creamy Southern White Pie Delight

White Pie Recipe

Description:

In southern Illinois, Burton’s Cafe is renowned for their delectable White Pie. This recipe is my attempt to replicate their delightful creation. White vanilla can usually be found in stores that sell cake decorating supplies or in specialty kitchen shops. Please note that the prep and cook times do not include the time needed to prepare the pie crust. The cook time mentioned is primarily the chilling time required for the pie to set perfectly.

   • In a saucepan, combine 2 parts flour, 2 parts cornstarch, 1 part sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup of egg whites, and 4 cups of milk.
   • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble.

2. Cook and Stir:

   • Once bubbling, continue to cook and stir for an additional 3 minutes. This will help thicken the mixture.

3. Add Flavor:

   • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 teaspoons of white vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of almond extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

4. Cool the Filling:

   • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding-like filling. This prevents a skin from forming as it cools.
   • Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

5. Assemble the Pie:

   • Once cooled, pour the filling into a pre-cooled pie shell. Again, cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent any skin from forming on top.
   • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, or until it is completely set.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • When you’re ready to serve, top the pie with whipped cream or your favorite whipped topping.
   • For an added touch of elegance and flavor, sprinkle the top with ground almonds just before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

White Pie is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. It makes for a delightful dessert after a hearty meal, or as a sweet treat any time of the day. Enjoy the creamy goodness with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a dollop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Notes:

• The use of white vanilla and almond extract gives this pie a unique and delightful flavor profile.
• Ensure the pie is fully chilled before serving to achieve the perfect texture.
• For a decorative touch, consider garnishing each slice with a fresh mint leaf or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
• This recipe is perfect for beginner cooks, as it’s simple yet yields impressive results that will have everyone asking for seconds! 🥧✨
