Ingredients
3.5 cups
"really good" Chocolate, (58-64%)
3 cups
35% Heavy cream
1/4 cup
Espresso
Crust
1 cup
chopped hazelnut
1/4 cup
milled hazelnut
1/4 cup
maple syrup
1/4 cup
butter
Pinch
ground espresso
Instructions
Method
Tie up espresso in cheesecloth and toss into a medium size sauce pot, add cream and bring to simmer
Crust
Melt butter and mix all ingredients together, spread evenly over pie pan to make a perfect crust.
Add chocolate to a large mixing bowl and slowly but not too slowly incorporate the cream. Mix throughout and place in pie pan.
Chill for 3 hours, I recommend cutting into 16 because it will be so sinfully rich. But I'm not your gate keeper so 12 will also work.
