Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Roasted and salted macadamia nuts
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If homemade, roll out the dough and fit it into the dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Combine until smooth.
Spread the roasted macadamia nuts evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Pour the chocolate mixture over the nuts, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy!
