Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • pie pan
  • microwave
  • pastry blender
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 4-6 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1.5 cups roasted hazelnuts, chopped or halved

Instructions
 

Crust Preparation

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and mix with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal and the pieces of butter are pea-sized.
  • Add 1 tablespoon cold water and continue mixing. Continue adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until dough holds together when you pinch it. (You may not need to use all of the water.)
  • Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. If necessary, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until slightly softened but still cold.
  • Flour work surface. Roll out dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim off the excess.

Filling Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at half power in 30-second increments until chocolate melts when stirred and butter is melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
  • Lightly beat eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix well. Stir in chocolate/butter mixture until smooth. Stir in hazelnuts. Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until filling is set.

Notes

The crust recipe will make enough for 2 pie crusts. You can save the remaining pie dough for a future pie. Or, cut into small strips and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake at 400° for about 8 minutes.
