White Chocolate Mousse Raspberry Pie




Ingredients

Pastry

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

Filling

2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups whipping (heavy) cream
1 package (6 ounces) white baking bars (white chocolate), chopped
1 pint (2 cups) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup currant jelly


Directions

Heat oven to 475ºF. In medium bowl, cut shortening into
flour and salt, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2
knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle
with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork
until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side
of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons water can be added if necessary).
Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on
lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into circle 2 inches
larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured
rolling pin. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate.
Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom
and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim
of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate;
press with tines of fork or flute if desired. Prick bottom
and side thoroughly with fork. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until
light brown. Cool completely on wire rack, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place orange liqueur in 2-quart saucepan. Sprinkle
gelatin over liqueur; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Stir in
3/4 cup of the whipping cream; heat over low heat, stirring
frequently, until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in white chocolate
until melted and smooth. Transfer to medium bowl; refrigerate
about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cool but not
set. In chilled medium bowl, beat remaining 3/4 cup whipping
cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks
form. Fold whipped cream into white chocolate mixture.
Spoon mixture into baked crust. Refrigerate about 1 hour
or until filling begins to set. Arrange raspberries over
filling. Place currant jelly in small microwavable bowl;
microwave uncovered on High about 30 seconds or until
melted. Brush jelly over raspberries. Refrigerate till serving.
