Zubereitung von Dark Chocolate Walnut Caramel Pie
- In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color (about 15 minutes).
- While the sugar cooks, heat 3/4 cup heavy cream in a microwave-safe 1-cup measuring cup on high for 45 seconds.
- Refrigerate the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream until ready to whip.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. (Sugar mixture will be very hot!)
- Slowly pour the warm cream into the hot caramel, whisking constantly until smooth. The caramel will thicken as the cream is added.
- Add 8 ounces of dark chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter to the caramel. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups walnut halves.
- Set aside approximately 1/2 cup of walnuts for garnish.
- Pour the warm chocolate caramel filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for 1 hour. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
- When ready to serve, beat the reserved 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie using a metal spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved walnuts over the whipped cream.
