How To Make Pink Pie?

Below, we are going to list down some of the things that you would have to do so you can prepare or make pink pie. 

Step one: The first thing that you would have to do is make the crust. 

To make the crust, you need to mix the butter and cream cheese spread in a bowl. Once you have mixed them, try to beat them until they become smooth. After achieving that, you want to mix pink icing color, preferably 1 drop at a time. You want to stop dropping once you get a shade of pink that you like. 

As soon as you get the shade of your choice, you want to scrape the butter mixture onto a sheet of wax paper before placing it inside the freezer for at least one hour. 

Step two: The second thing that you would need to do is mix a couple of drops of pink icing color into chilled water and place it on the side.

After that, you want to whisk the flour with strawberry flavor powder, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Once you’re done with that, you want to remove the butter mixture from the freezer and cut the log into small pieces, and sprinkle the chopped butter over the flour mixture. You would also want to gently cut the butter mixture into the flour mixture with your hands and continue to work the butter mixture and the flour mixture until these two things become evenly dispersed. 

You want to stop once the entire mixture becomes pink.

Once it becomes pink, you want to mix the colored water into the mixture. Please keep in mind that you want to do it by mixing 1/2 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. 

After it comes together, you want to form the dough into a disk and wrap it with plastic. Once that’s done, you want to place it inside a refrigerator and let it chill for an hour. 

Step three: The third thing that you need to do is unwrap the dough and transfer it onto a lightly floured surface.

After that, you need to roll a circle. Once that’s done, you want to fit it into the glass pie plate that you have. Fold the edges under and crimp them. Once that’s done, you want to prick the pie shell all over the bottom and up the sides with the prongs of a fork.

Once that’s done, you need to freeze it for 1 hour. 

Step four: The fourth thing that you would need to do is get the oven ready.

We would suggest you preheat the oven to 350°.

Step five: It’s time to bake! 

Once the oven is ready, you want to remove the pie shell from the freezer. After that, you want to line the bottom of the pie shell with a sheet of parchment paper then add weights to cover the entire bottom of the pie crust. You would then have to shield the edges of the pie crust with a pie shield. If you do not have that, you can use a basic aluminum foil.

As soon as you cover it, you want to bake the pie at 350° for 20 minutes.

Step six: As soon as the 20-minute mark hits, you want to carefully remove the pie from the oven.

Remember, carefully remove the paper with pie weights. Once that’s done, you want to return the pie to the oven with the edges of the pie crust still shielded. You want to leave it inside the oven for nearly 8 minutes. 

For the pie crust, place it on a wire rack and let it cool. 

How To Prepare The Filling And Whipped Cream

To Make The Filling: 

In order to make the filling for your pink lemonade pie, you would have to whisk together the egg yolks and the condensed milk until everything is well combined. Once that’s done, you want to whisk in the lemon juices, the strawberry flavor powder, and the salt.

After that, you want to mix the pink icing color, preferably 1 drop at a time. You want to stop dropping once the mixture reaches your type of pink. 

Once you get the pink color right, you want to pour the mixture into the pie crust. Then, cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil and then bake it at  350° for 16 minutes or until just set. 

Later on, you want to cool the pie to room temperature. Once that’s done, you want to let the pie chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or more. 

To Make The Whipped Cream:

In order to make the whipped cream, you want to mix the heavy cream and icing coloring in a bowl until it reaches a shade of pink that you like. Once that’s done, you want to combine the cream and the sugar in a bowl of a mixer that’s fitted with the whisk attachment. You want to beat it at medium speed until it’s done.

After that, garnish the pie with whipped cream and serve it.
