Furr's Cafeteria

I am honoring Cafeteria's today..they fed us all well for many years. Now most alllll are gone. I miss them. Here is another pie recipe from the cafeteria recipes..from Furr's this time. I HAVE REVAMPED THIS RECIPE SO THAT "THOSE OF US WITH DIABETES" CAN ALSO HAVE SOME. I ADDED A RECIPE TO MAKE 'HOMEMADE POWDERED SUGAR' FOR...

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c sifted powdered sugar (*i make my own splenda powdered sugar)
1/4 lb butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/8 tsp salt (i use sea salt)
1/4 tsp pure vanilla
2 (9 inch) pie crusts, baked
1 c heavy cream
1/2 c sifted powdered sugar (*again you can make your own with splenda)
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drain well
1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Cream 2 cups powdered sugar and butter with electric mixer until fluffy (be SURE to do this step first).
  • 2. Add eggs, salt and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Spread mixture evenly into baked pie crusts, then chill.
  • 4. Whip heavy cream until stiff. Blend in powdered sugar. Then fold in pineapple and pecans.
  • 5. Spread mixture on top of chilled filling; and chill thoroughly before serving.
  • 6. NOTE: This pie is sweet and not for diabetics. But if you make your own powdered sugar by grinding Splenda into a powder, you can eat some too.
  • 7. TIP For Diabetics: *To make your homemade powdered sugar from Splenda...take 1 cup Splenda and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, using a clean coffee grinder (or a blender) place both ingredients in the cup, placeing the lid on and pulse into a powder form. This can be used for dusting cakes, cupcakes...etc. You can also make a frosting with it.
  • 8. Frosting made with Homemade Powdered Sugar: 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup light butter Beat 8 oz of cream cheese with the butter. Mix in vanilla and 1/2 cup of the home made powdered sugar (taste it as you go).
