Tips for a Perfect Gianduia Pie
- For a smooth and velvety filling, use high-quality chocolate and hazelnut butter. Chop the chocolate finely and melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Stir in the hazelnut butter until well combined. - To achieve a flaky and tender crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Work the butter and shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. - To prevent the crust from shrinking or cracking, blind bake it before filling. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake it for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown. - Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up. - For a more decadent pie, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Conclusion
