Recipe by /contributors/nicole-spiridakis I often make a chocolate cream pie for holiday gatherings because it seems to offer just the right amount of decadence to properly celebrate the season. I've come up with a slightly crumbly hazelnut-cocoa crust t

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups whole hazelnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 °F. Have a 9-inch pie pan ready. To make the crust: Place the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until the nuts are lightly browned and release a nutty fragrance, about 15 minutes. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and set aside to cool. When nuts are completely cooled, use your hands to rub off as many of the skins as you can. Don't worry if you can't remove all of the skin; a little bit is OK.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the hazelnuts, sugar, and cocoa powder until fine. Place in a bowl and add the melted butter, stirring to combine. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Bake the crust until slightly crisp, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
