Ingredients
  

Hazelnut Pie Crust

  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • ½ cup hazelnut flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup salted butter
  • ¾ cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tblsp vinegar
  • 2-4 tblsp cold water

Pie Filling

  • 10 tblsp salted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup hazelnut spread
  • 2 teaspoon instant coffee
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tblsp bourbon

Instructions
 

  • First make the pie crust. In a large bowl combine your flour, hazelnut flour and salt.
  • Then add your cold, cut up butter and shortening. Mix until you get a course crumbly consistency.
  • Then add the vinegar and only ONE egg. (reserve the other egg for your egg wash)
  • Then slowly add your cold water 1 tbls at a time until your dough is just combined. Don't add too much you don't want your dough to be too wet.
  • Divide your ball of dough into two. Freeze one half for later use. Wrap your other half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but over night is ideal.
  • Take your chilled pie crust and use a rolling pin to roll out your crust into a circle that is about ½ inch thick. Then transfer this crust into your pie dish.
  • Next crimp your edges. Cut off any excess and roll in your edges. Then use your pointer finger and thumb on one hand and your pointer finger of another hand to create the crimped edges you see above. For a more fleshed out description of this look out for my future post all about pie crust.
  • Once this is done brush the edges with an egg wash (one beaten egg). And then sprinkle with a little extra sugar. This will create a golden look to your crust.
  • Place parchment paper and pie weights into your pie crust and then put in the freezer for 15 minutes. Pre heat your oven to 375.
  • Bake your crust for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Then take out your parchment paper/ weights and bake again for 10 more minutes.
  • Take out and let cool. Lower the temperature of your oven to 350.
  • Make the filling. In a large bowl combine the eggs, sugar, coco powder, salt and coffee. Then add the melted butter. Make sure the butter has cooled so you don't cook your eggs. Then add the bourbon and vanilla.
  • Add the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake at 350 for 55 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
