CHOCOLATE-NUT SLAB PIE



Chocolate-Nut Slab Pie image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold vegetable shortening
2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
1/2 to 3/4 cup ice water
4 cups salted roasted mixed nuts
2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks (about 10 ounces)
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Heavy cream, for brushing

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the butter and pulse a few times until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the egg yolk and ½ cup ice water and pulse a few times until the dough just begins to clump together; add up to ¼ cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed. Lay out 2 sheets of plastic wrap; put about three-quarters of the dough on one sheet and the remaining dough on the other. Gently pat each into a rectangle, using the plastic wrap to help you. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Roll out the larger piece of dough into a 13-by-19-inch rectangle (about ¿ inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Ease into an 11-by-17-inch jelly roll pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
  • Make the filling: Pulse the nuts in a food processor until roughly chopped. Combine with the chocolate chunks in a bowl, then evenly sprinkle the mixture over the crust. Whisk the melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice and vanilla in a bowl; pour over the nut mixture.
  • Roll out the smaller piece of dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface; cut out ten 1-inch-wide strips of dough. Lay 5 strips diagonally over the filling, about 2 inches apart, then lay the remaining strips perpendicular to them. Trim the strips at the edge of the baking sheet (use the trimmings to extend any strips that are too short). Fold in the overhang and crimp the edges with your fingers. Brush the edges and the strips of dough with heavy cream. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 2 hours.

CHOCOLATE NUT TRUFFLE PIE

Don't use chocolate chips to make this pie as they will not produce the same smooth filling as squares of baking chocolate.

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
12 oz semisweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 1/2 cups whipping (heavy) cream
12 pecan halves

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie plate. Before baking, sprinkle chopped pecans over bottom of crust; lightly press into crust. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, place chocolate. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 cups of the whipping cream over medium heat just until it begins to boil. Pour over chocolate. With electric mixer on low speed, beat 1 minute or until chocolate mixture is smooth. Pour into cooled baked shell. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until serving time.
  • 3. Just before serving, in small bowl, beat remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe whipped cream around outer edge of pie. Top each serving with pecan half.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pie filling is smooth and creamy, use high-quality chocolate and nut butters that are free of any lumps or grains.
  • If you want a richer, more decadent flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, or macadamia nuts, in the filling.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the filling.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the nuts by hand using a sharp knife.
  • Be patient when chilling the pie. This will help the filling set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for a delicious and elegant dessert.

Conclusion:

This chocolate nut pie is an easy-to-make and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy chocolate filling, crunchy nut crust, and decadent chocolate ganache topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
