Ingredients

• 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
• 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 240 ml heavy cream
• 200 grams dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 150 grams gianduia spread (hazelnut chocolate spread)
• 100 grams mascarpone cheese
• 30 grams powdered sugar
• 50 grams toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 pinch sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan to form an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy, creating a ganache.

Step 7

Stir the gianduia spread into the ganache until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 8

In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until light and creamy. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the ganache until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.

Step 11

Just before serving, garnish the top of the pie with chopped toasted hazelnuts and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes if desired.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy!
