Description

Indulge in the decadent flavors of this Chocolate Frangelico Pie, a sophisticated dessert that marries deep cocoa notes with the warm, nutty sweetness of hazelnut liqueur. The base is a tender, buttery pastry crust that holds a luxurious filling of eggs, sugar, and chopped hazelnuts, baked until just set. The experience is elevated by a stunning dual-chocolate glaze, featuring both dark and white chocolate ribbons piped in an artistic criss-cross pattern. This pie offers a perfect balance of textures, from the crisp crust to the creamy, dense interior. It is an ideal centerpiece for dinner parties, holiday gatherings, or any occasion calling for a memorable, adult-friendly treat that feels both homemade and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make the pastry: Cut cold butter into flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Sprinkle water over the crumb mixture and gently bind with your hands until the dough just comes together.
  3. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and line a 9-inch pie plate with it.
  5. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  6. Prepare the filling: Beat 3 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 pinch of salt in a bowl until thick and pale.
  7. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped hazelnuts, 6 oz chopped dark chocolate, and 2 oz Frangelico liqueur.
  8. Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie shell.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Make the glaze: Melt 3 oz dark chocolate and 3 oz white chocolate separately in double boilers or microwave.
  12. Stir 1/4 cup whipping cream, divided equally, into each melted chocolate until smooth.
  13. Transfer each chocolate glaze into separate pastry bags.
  14. Pipe the dark and white chocolate glazes in a criss-cross pattern over the cooled pie.
