Step 1: Partially bake your pie crust (known as parbaking or blind baking)
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F.
(Convection ovens work great!! Adjust temperature and times accordingly).
Unwrap your frozen pie crust and place it on a parchment-lined cookie sheet (parchment provided in your box)Β leaving the parchment and extra tin, that are on top, in place.
Next, fill the cavity of the pie tin about half way full with either pie weights, dried beans or rice.Β Three extra pie tins with a cookie sheet placed on top will do the trick as well.
Bake at 375Β°F for 15-20 mins (time may vary based on your oven) until the crust just begins to brown (it will still be pale, but it should not look like raw dough).
Let pie crust cool for 10 mins before removing weights, extra tin and parchment - all of which can be discarded (pie tin can be recycled).Β Please note each item will be extremely hot.
Step 2:
While crust is baking - set the molten brownie batter to the side to soften.
Once your crust is parbaked, pour batter into pie crust.Β Place pie back onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 45-55 minutes, until the pie is puffed on top, but still wiggly in the center. The longer it bakes, the more set your pie will be. If you prefer your crust to not brown too much, cover your edges with aluminum foil.
Remove from oven and let cool sufficiently (20-30 minutes) or till desired temperature. Β The warmer the pie, the more molten like it will be.Β The cooler, the more brownie like.Β #WinWin
Step 3
ENJOY!
Pairs great with hazelnut or coffee whip cream, raspberry compote, caramel drizzle and of course ice cream β¦.. and so much more!!Β The perfect time to get creative!
Do NOT Thaw (keep turnovers in freezer until oven is preheated)
Place turnovers on parchment lined cookie sheet (parchment provided in your box)
Bake at 400Β°F for 24β28 mins, until crust is flaky golden brown
Transfer turnovers immediately to cooling rack and sprinkle with sugar for anΒ added touch
ENJOY! (best served warmβreheat in microwave for about 12 seconds)
