    this is the best chocolate pie ever, especially when it's just out of the fridge. the fresh vanilla whipped cream really compliments it!

    Great recipe as these ingredients are usually on the shelf. My son has a nut allergy. I'd like to make this but unsure of a substitute. Can anyone help?

    Like Giada said....the best of three worlds! This is a delicious dessert with actually a minimum of ingredients....things most of us have in our pantries and refrigerators. I did make a couple substitutions. I just made something with hazelnuts so I opted for walnuts in this. Also, instead of cinnamon, I subbed 1 tsp. of instant espresso powder to heighten the chocolate flavor. For those who may be wondering, you can make this with your blender. I just broke the inside piece of plastic on the lid to my food processor that activates the blade the other day but really wanted to make this and decided to give the blender a try. Worked fine. Mine baked in 35 minutes perfectly. Was nice and puffy (yes, cracked when first removed from the oven but settled down to a nice, dense chocolate slice of heaven!

    I toasted the hazelnuts and while they were still warm rolled them in a dish towel. Most of the skins came off easily. But the nuts are hot s be careful. Delicious recipe and easy. will make again

    I never bake- but wanted to do something nice for my chocolate loving husband. This was so easy- substituted roasted almonds for the hazelnuts and it was still delicious! Used store bought whipped cream. Will do again

    This turned out great. The hazelnuts (Filberts were not skinned and I had no idea how to skin a nut so I just toasted them with the skin on and went from there. I did not try to blanch if that's what you do. Anyone know?

    We decided to have an Italian Christmas Eve potluck style dinner with my family and my in-laws, so I wanted to look for a good Italian dessert to serve. My guests were certainly pleased with my pick of this delicious hazelnut chocolate pie! They loved the pie and the whip cream topping. I loved it also, especially because it was so easy to make! Since everything was made in the food processor, it was simple and made for easy cleanup. I made the pie the night before and the whipped topping a few hours before dinner and just kept both in the fridge. I followed the recipe exactly, except after reading some of the reviews about possible making the dish into brownies, I thought it would be better to put the batter into a pie crust so it would be more like a pie (I just used the refrigerated Pillsbury pie dough, and it was perfect. Everyone loved this pie so much, that I am going to bring another one to a New Years Eve party!

    I printed out this recipe around Thanksgiving as I was looking for something a little different than apple or pumpkin pie. I found that the steps involved were very easy - and required no crust. My family loved it! So, here we are at Christmas and I have been signed up to make 4 of these!

    Definitely love it. The hazelnuts are a little tough to work with, but like a prior reviewer, I wonder if Nutella would be a good substitution. It would have the hazelnut flavor, but not the nutty texture.

    Love love love this! Especially the whipped cream. It is the highlight of the recipe!
