Nutella Pie Tina Rupp

If you've never tried Nutella, that ambrosial combination of hazelnuts and chocolate, put this book down right now, run to your nearest grocery store, and buy a jar. Bring a spoon along to expedite the Nutella-in-mouth process. OK, now that we're all on the same Nutella-obsession page, I'll proceed with a recipe that will make you fall into an incoherent puddle of babbling ecstasy, while simultaneously making you the most popular of all your friends (if you can bring yourself to share). What's more, this is a speedy, incredibly easy one to whip up, so you don't have to delay your satisfaction for too long.

Ingredients

Makes one 9-inch (23-cm) pie crust

Chocolate Cookie Crustfor one 9-inch (23-cm) pie

Filling

2 cups (270 g) Nutella
1 1/2 cups (338 g) mascarpone cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

1/2 cup (55 g) chopped toasted hazelnuts
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pat the crust into a 9-inch (23-cm) pie plate. Bake it for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

    Step 2

    Make the filling:In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the Nutella, mascarpone, and salt until light and fluffy. Spread the filling into the pie shell, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

    步骤3

    Top the pie with the chopped nuts, slice the pie, and serve. This pie can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, covered in plastic wrap (but it won't last that long!).

  • This is easy and delicious. Really rich, which is what I (and my 10 year old) like in a dessert.

  • Sooooooo delicious and sooooo easy! I used the reviewers below recommendations because the amounts were a little off: 1 sleeve of the chocolate wafers and 1 stick of butter for the crust, 2-8oz containers of mascarpone and 1 13 oz jar of Nutella for the filling (with the above salt). Would definitely make it again!

  • To: A COOK FROM PORTLAND, OR Nowhere does the author of this recipe say to use Oreo cookies in the crust. If you use Oreos, you clearly do not need to use butter as you'll have plenty of "adhesive" from the Oreo filling. Your criticisms are not constructive and you are very rude. The pie is delicious!

  • This is delicious and very easy as is. If I make it again (and I probably will) I would make the filling a little differently. It was a little thicker than I was anticipating. I would make whipped cream and beat the Nutella into the whipped cream. I also found the proportions on the crust a little off. I would use 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with the same amount of butter. It worked as written, but it wasn't very thick.

  • [I forgot to leave a rating with my previous comment] This was DELICIOUS. I was amazed how well the filling set, and if you've ever tasted Nutella, I don't have to tell you how good the final product was. This is a winner of a recipe that I'll be making again and again. Bonus: It's a great recipe to make with kids, as the steps are simple and few! One important note though: The gram measurements are not correct, and I initially did not buy enough Nutella because of it. The recipe should say 608 gr. Nutella and 375 gr. mascarpone. If you use the gram amounts currently listed, you will end up with a more mascarpone-y ratio, and there won't be enough filling for the crust.

  • For our recipe, we made a graham cracker crust instead and left out the chopped hazelnuts. We thought it worked really, really well. DELICIOUS. We love this recipe, have shared it with our friends, and it is so simple to make.

  • I give the original recipe a three but I would give my version with addition of the eggs a 3.5. Once I had completed the filling per the recipe I was unimpressed so to save the project I mixed two egg yolks into the filling then whipped the two egg whites until stiff and folded into the filling. This lightened up the texture and made it much more appealing to my husband and I and our friends loved it. I baked the crust as indicated in the recipe with no problem but refrigerating would work just as well.

  • Don't know if this pie is good because I never got past the crust! Whoever wrote this recipe is STUPID. Every time I went to bake the crust as the recipe indicates, it melted into the bottom of the pan. It's Christmas and I have now gone through two bags of oreos and three sticks of butter and I still don't have a useable crust. Come to find out, you are simply supposed to press the crust into the pan and refrigerate, NO BAKING!!! Thanks a lot stupid internet recipe for making my holiday a whole lot more complicated. You suck...

  • Inaccuracy in this recipe: 2 cups of Nutella does not weigh 270 grams. 1.5 cups marscapone does weigh (approximately) 338 grams. But according to the recipe, the larger quantity of Nutella weighs LESS than the cheese. Not possible. I just used the prescribed amount of cheese and one jar of Nutella, for simplicity (375 grams). Exact proportions not necessary. But it would be nice to know what the original writer intended.

  • My 12-year old daughter loves, loves, loves Nutella, so when I showed her this recipe, she insisted that we make it. The hardest part was that a number of the local super markets have removed Nabisco's Famous Chocolate Wafers from their shelves, since they haven't been selling. I finally drove to my 6th store, a specialty market to find the wafers. Didn't change a thing. Very rich pie. Very good. Very easy and fun to make with kids.

  • A-MAY-ZING !! And amazingly easy. After making this pie the first time, I simplified the process (even more than it already is). For the crust, I used the whole sleeve of those Nabisco Famous Chocolate wafers (crushed) and one stick of butter. For the filling, I used the whole jar (13 oz) of Nutella and two 8 oz containers of mascarpone (plus the pinch of salt called for in the recipe) instead of measuring everything out. Turned out great!

  • It was a salad and pie Mother's Day celebration; not only was this super simple, it was simply super! I didn't have hazelnuts on hand to garnish the pie, so I used crushed cinnamon coated almonds for just a little something extra...not needed.
