Chocolate hazelnut pie
(Recipe adapted from here)
Here in Croatia, the term pie is somewhat dif f erent than in the US; the dough is a bit dif f erent that the
dough of , f or example, American apple pie. While the ultimate classic (apple pie) has a more f laky dough,
Croatian pies have more melt-in-your mouth dough. Flaky dough crust cakes are called savijaca,
orstrudel here. T his type of pie is called pita and is usually made in square f orms. Probably the most
common f illing is cheese (in sweet versions, similar to the cheesecake f illing) or yogurt and sour cream, but
also apples. T here are two layers of dough, with the f illing in the middle. Sometimes, the top dough layer is
f rozen and then grated on top of the f iling.
T his pie is a bit dif f erent-it uses chocolate and hazelnuts and has no top layer, besides chocolate glaze.
Hazelnuts and chocolate go hand in hand, and the bottom melt-in-your-mouth dough is great complement.
T he recipe is f rom a f riend of mine. You can check out her beautif ul creations and lovely inspiring blog Blue
Hortensia here.
