Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Salted mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews)
• 1 cups Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 5

Spread the mixed nuts evenly in the unbaked pie crust.

Step 6

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat and pour it over the chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the chocolate filling over the mixed nuts, ensuring the liquid fills all the gaps.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggles in the center.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 11

Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Chocolate Harvest Nut Pie!
