Anyone? I have a recipe for coffee toffee pie from Blum's in San Francisco which is really good, but needs a different crust for passover. I'm thinking something with nuts and chocolate which is already part of the original recipe (which uses pie crust mix). TIA Nancy |

Nancy, Sorry, never even tried to make pie during passover. However ... couldn't you do a chocolate cookie crust using crushed passover cookies? You might even be able to make a graham cracker crust using whole wheat matzoh, if you added enough butter and sugar ... |

I've not made this but had it in my living cookbook. I've seen several recipes for almond and pecan crusts that don't use flour. I would think that many of the gluten free crusts would be good. KAF has a gluten free recipe as well. |

Thanks guys! Alina, I saw this a long time ago and probably tore it out of the magazine. Josh, I like the idea of chocolate cookie crust. Hmmm |

Sorry Nancy, My pie crust recipe would pretty much hit every prohibition (lard, butter, wheat flour). Tasty, but not at all helpful. |

I made a good pie crust with Arrowhead mills GF flour mix. Just made it like a regular crust, with the 3:2:1 ratio. It could have used either a bit more fat or a bit more water, but it worked, and tasted ok. I suspect that most GF stuff is ok for passover. |

Carey, I'd like the recipe for later anyway And Becky, thanks, I was thinking the same thing. |

So I made a key lime pie with a pecan shortbread crust made with cup4cup flour (had to mess with regular sugar vs. the confectioner's in the recipe, because there was already cornstarch in the flour. I know that rice and corn are often frowned upon for passover, but I went with this flour anyway (I really hate the taste of matzah meal) and cornstarch and corn syrup. I made too many desserts as usual: CI macaroons, key lime pie, chocolate and chocolate chip ice creams, Marilyn's toffee, 2 types of meringue crisps and a flourless chocolate cake cream roll filled with whipped cream. There will be 21 people and I was put in charge of desserts (fox in charge of the henhouse, ). |

While everything else came out well, the crust to my pie, not so much. Next year, no pie crust |
