Cranberry White Chocolate Hazelnut Pie

December 17, 2015

 Sweet gooeyness of a pecan pie, but with hazelnuts, melted white chocolate, and Frangelico-soaked dried cranberries. cranberry white chocolate hazelnut pie 9

This pie may not be much to look at, but don’t let the bland exterior fool you. It’s full of flavor inside. It’s actually bursting with wonderfulness below that golden brown sugary top.

Now, your hazelnuts are going to get nice and toasty in that pie, and they are delicious complement to cranberries and white chocolate. Hazelnuts feel…. holiday-ish.

They’re a nut that doesn’t get enough love, and I feel like I only see recipes with hazelnuts around Christmas. For whatever reason, they feel like a holiday-ish nut to me now, so they’re fitting for a Christmas pie.

When your cranberries are plump from a long soak in hazelnut liqueur, the flavor complement of the hazelnuts is even stronger!!

Cranberries and white chocolate a match made in heaven, but I don’t even think I have to explain. Silky and sweet white chocolate with tart cranberries – have you had a Cranberry Bliss Bar from Starbucks? That says it all.

The white chocolate will melt and seep and move all throughout your pie, adding to the gooeyness factor.

It’s not a conventional holiday pie, but the flavors together are impeccable, and the gooey center with the slightly crunchy golden top is wonderful. The dots of cranberries even add to a festive feel with a pop of red.

I urge you to overlook the boring appearance of this pie, and you will be overwhelmed at its deliciousness at the first bite!
