My thoughts:

The other twenty-four lx minutes period of time I received a tweet from a one-time Baltimorean indicate if I had e'er had sauerkraut cream pie. My reply was a disappointed "no" exactly I can't say that anymore! Unlike to a greater extent than or less sauerkraut "pies" I've come upwards upwards across before, the sauerkraut cream pie is sweet, not savory. I dearest sauerkraut every bit good every bit am e'er interested inwards hearing close novel ways to usage it too thus I knew I had to position upwards this pie. The origins of the sauerkraut cream pie is a combat murky exactly it seems to hail from the midwest where mayhap it won a contender at a sauerkraut festival. Or perchance it was an Amish recipe. No i seems to know. If I had to guess, I wouldn't motility surprised if it was i of those budget every bit good every bit ration-stretching wartime recipes that used unexpected ingredients inwards household of ingredients, similar inwards this case, I'd bet coconut, they were unable to get. The finished production is rattling similar texture to a coconut cream pie. If yous lot know to a greater extent than close the origins of the pie, allow me know inwards the comments.

She flora a recipe inwards an one-time Baltimore Dominicus article every bit good every bit further googling uncovered a few to a greater extent than recipes exactly they all appeared to motility the same. The few people who appeared to conduct keep really made the pie seemed to regain the recipe lacking: likewise piffling sauerkraut, a funny texture or the recipe made likewise much. Even though I hadn't had the pie before from the recipe every bit good every bit descriptions I could say it was basically a chess pie with sauerkraut added. My source likewise said she remembered it tasting sort of similar a buttermilk pie, which likewise pointed towards a chess pie, which tastes rattling similarly.

Since I couldn't regain a satisfactory recipe, I position out to practise my ain ultimate sauerkraut cream pie. Chess pies are made with milk, eggs, cornmeal every bit good every bit an acidic ingredient similar lemon juice or vinegar. I didn't remove to usage an acidic ingredient because I was using sauerkraut. I wanted to add together together a combat of additional depth to the season to assistance residual the robust sauerkraut too thus I used buttermilk every bit good every bit brownish sugar. Both chess pie every bit good every bit sauerkraut pie are traditionally made with a pastry crust exactly I sentiment it mightiness motility tasty every bit good every bit lighter inwards a graham cracker crust. I solely used a store-bought crust because I didn't conduct keep graham crackers on plow over every bit good every bit fifty-fifty buying a fancy organic graham crust was cheaper than a box of graham crackers or crumbs every bit good every bit I'd withal conduct keep to position upwards construct the pie. Save yourself a combat of effort, specially if you'd usage store-bought graham crackers anyway. It doesn't position upwards a departure inwards this pie.

As for the taste? Not sour or salty at all.It is sweetness with a hint of vanilla every bit good every bit rattling creamy. One could fifty-fifty telephone yell upwards it "Mock Coconut Pie". Everyone who tasted it, guessed it was a coconut cream pie.
