Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Egg White
- Melted Chocolate
- Melted Jelly
- Bread, cookie crumbs or cake crumbs
-
Step 1
Brush the bottom and sides of the unbaked crust with melted jelly before filling it.
-
Step 2
Sprinkle bread, cookie crumbs or cake crumbs on the bottom crust before filling the pie with fruit. The crumbs will soak up some of the juices during baking.
-
Step 3
Brush the pie crust with beaten egg white. Bake for a few minutes or, if you have a prebaked pie shell, cook completely. The shiny "lacquer" will help the bottom crust resist moisture from the filling.
-
Step 4
Coat the inside of an already baked crust with a thin layer of melted chocolate. Let the chocolate harden completely before pouring in the fruit or cream filling. Use white chocolate if you'd like a pale color.
-
Step 5
Cut vent holes in the top crust to let steam escape during baking.
