Chocolate Chip Walnut Pie Recipes

CHOCOLATE WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• Position rack in lower third of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Stir the butter and 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips in a heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool until warm. Beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until blended. Whisk in the butter mixture. Stir in the walnut pieces and the remaining 2/3 cup chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Bake until filling is set and crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool. (Pie can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover loosely and keep at room temperature.)

BOURBON CHOCOLATE-WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until it looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse a few times until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon ice water; pulse until the dough starts coming together but is still crumbly, adding 1 more tablespoon ice water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the filling into the crust. Carefully place the pie plate on the hot baking sheet in the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is set around the edge but slightly jiggly in the center, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, 3 to 4 hours.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.

• The pie may be made ahead several days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Chill unbaked pie crust in freezer for 15 minutes before using.
• Cream the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually beat in the sugars.
• Add the eggs individually, beating well each time.
• Beat in the vanilla, then the flour and salt until well blended.
• Blend in the milk (don't worry if the filling looks a little lumpy at this point) and finally, stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Pour filling into the chilled shell, smoothing it out with a spoon.
• Bake the pie on the center oven rack for about 50 minutes, turning it 180 degrees halfway through baking time.
• When done, the top will be dark golden brown, and the filling will be set except for the center, which may slightly jiggle when you tap the pan.
• Cool pie on a wire rack. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
