Creepy Clown Cherry Pie
Ingredients:
For the pie crust:
• All-purpose flour - 3 3/4 cups (470 g)
• Cold vegan butter - 6 tbsp (90 g)
• Solid coconut oil - 6 tbsp
• Sugar - 2 tbsp
• Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Apple c***r vinegar - 1 tbsp
• Ice water - 8-10 tbsp
For the cherry filling:
• Frozen pitted cherries, thawed and drained - 2 lb (920 g)
• Sugar - 2/3 cup (130 g)
• Tapioca starch - 2 tbsp, plus more if needed
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Cherry juice - 2-3 tbsp (for mixing with the starch)
For finishing:
• Plant-based milk - 1-2 tbsp
• Turbinado sugar - 1-2 tsp
• Edible fake blood - for decorating
How to make:
1. Make the dough: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold vegan butter and solid coconut oil until crumbly. Add vinegar, then gradually mix in ice water until the dough just holds together. Divide into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Prepare the filling: Cook drained cherries and sugar over medium heat, uncovered, until excess liquid reduces. Mix tapioca starch with cold cherry juice, stir into the cherries, and cook until thickened. Add vanilla and let cool completely.
3. Assemble: Roll out one dough disc and line a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Add the cooled cherry filling. Roll out the remaining dough, place it over the filling, and seal the edges. Cut out a creepy clown face directly on top of the pie.
4. Chill: Brush with plant-based milk, sprinkle with sugar, and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
5. Bake: Cover the pie edges with silicone pie crust protectors before baking. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown and fully baked.
6. Decorate: Let cool completely before decorating with edible fake blood.
