Ingredients

• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 60 milliliters Ice water
• 200 grams Hazelnuts (toasted and chopped)
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 120 milliliters Corn syrup
• 3 large Eggs
• 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess. Crimp the edges as desired.

Step 8

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract for the filling until smooth.

Step 9

Spread the toasted and chopped hazelnuts evenly over the prepared pie crust.

Step 10

Pour the filling mixture over the hazelnuts, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the filling.

Step 12

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.

Step 13

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to fully set.

Step 14

Slice and enjoy your homemade hazelnut pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
