Categories     Food     Recipes

Time 4h55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Crust
10 graham crackers
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tbsp. (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Pie
1 c. plus 1/4 c. whole milk
1 tbsp. dark rum
3 large egg yolks
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. unsweetened chestnut purée
1 .25-oz. pkg. powdered gelatin
3/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and cocoa to form fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 14 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 cup milk and the rum in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until small bubbles appear around the edges. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisking constantly, gradually pour the warm milk over the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 12 to 17 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the chestnut purée until smooth (if you can't whisk it smooth, transfer to a food processor and purée).
  • Place the remaining 1⁄4 cup milk in a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk into the warm chestnut mixture to combine, then pass through a strainer, return to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool to the touch, 45 minutes to 1 hour (do not leave longer or the gelatin will set).
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in a large bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Stir a spoonful of heavy cream into the chestnut mixture to loosen, then fold in the remaining cream. Transfer to the prepared crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  • If desired, top with chocolate curls or shavings before serving.

NESSELRODE PIE



NESSELRODE PIE image

Categories     Nut     Dessert     Winter

Number Of Ingredients 15

For crumb crust:
1½ cup chocolate cookie crumbs
2 T sugar
½ cup butter
For the filling:
½ cup finely diced candied fruit (I used red and green pineapple for color and texture and candied orange peel)
⅓ cup rum
1½ cups heavy cream, divided into ¾ cup and ¾ cup
3 egg yolks
2 T sugar
1 T gelatin
⅓ cup cold water
½ cup sweetened chestnut puree
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg whites, beaten until stiff

Steps:

  • For crumb crust: Process sugar and crumbs in food processor. Melt butter, combine with sugar and crumbs. Press into a 9 inch pie plate until firm (I use the bottom of a glass to press it in.) Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes, let cool. For the filling: Pour rum over the fruits, let macerate for at least one hour. Bring ¾ c. cream to a simmer. Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale yellow. Whisk in part of the hot cream, then return the eggs to the remainder of the cream and whisk over low heat until the mixture is thickened. Fold in chestnut puree. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl. When the gelatin has absorbed the water and the custard is thickened, whisk the gelatin into the cream and eggs mixture. Refrigerate until firm. Break up the firmed custard with some vigorous stirring. Beat the egg whites until stiff and whip the remaining cream. Fold the macerated fruits (with the rum), the whipped cream and the beaten egg whites into the chestnut custard mixture. Pour into the prepared pie shell. Chill until firm, and garnish with curls of chocolate.

NESSELRODE PUDDING PIE



Nesselrode Pudding Pie image

Nesselrode pie is one of those recipes that is no longer available in bakeries or restaurants. Count Nesselrode was a 19th-century Russian diplomat who lived and dined quite lavishly. As a result, he had a number of rich dishes dedicated to him by chefs. The most famous is Nesselrode pudding, developed by his head chef Mouy. It consists of cream-enriched custard mixed with chopped chestnuts or chestnut puree, candied fruits, currants, and raisins. This elegant mixture is often frozen, or made into a pie or dessert sauce. Other dishes named after the Count include a game soup and a braised sweetbread dish, but none gained the same fame as the Nesselrode pudding. From Recipe Cottage. Cooking time is chilling time.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • To make the filling, you can use any type of nuts you like. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all popular choices.
  • Be sure to toast the nuts before adding them to the filling. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • If you don't have any candied fruit on hand, you can use fresh fruit instead. Just be sure to chop it into small pieces.
  • To prevent the filling from curdling, be sure to add the eggs one at a time, whisking constantly.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
