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 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.
