CHOCOLATE-WALNUT PIE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces
1 stick unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons walnut or hazelnut liqueur
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and fine salt in a food processor until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until incorporated. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon ice water in a small bowl; add to the food processor and pulse once or twice to moisten the flour. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, then fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Make the filling: Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside. Return the empty baking sheet to the lower oven rack. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until foamy and golden brown, about 5 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, liqueur and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the browned butter until smooth.
  • Scatter half each of the walnuts and chocolate in the prepared crust. Pour in the filling, then top with the remaining walnuts and chocolate. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheetin the oven. Bake until the crust is golden and the nuts have browned, about 30 minutes. Cover the pie loosely with foil; continue baking until the filling is set and the center is slightly puffed, 25 to 30 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
Filling:
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (about 3 ounces)
3/4 cup walnut halves (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and process using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg and milk in small bowl to blend, then add to processor. Blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. (Dough can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.)
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, bourbon, flour, vanilla and salt in large bowl to blend. Mix in all walnuts.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edge under; crimp decoratively. Pour filling into prepared crust. Bake until crust is golden and filling is set in center when pie is shaken slightly, about 55 minutes. Cool pie completely in pan on rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. The pie will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Conclusion:

This bourbon chocolate walnut pie is a rich and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate, bourbon, and walnuts is sure to please everyone.
