Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- â…› teaspoon kosher salt
- â…› teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup Hazelnut Coffee Creamer
Pie Shell
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep pie dish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your unbaked deep pie dish onto a cookie sheet to catch any drips during baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Beat in the buttermilk, flour, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and nutmeg until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
- Prepare Pie Filling: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Hazelnut Coffee Creamer until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie shell on the cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the pie is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cooling: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight to allow it to fully set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth creaming process.
- Using a cookie sheet under the pie dish prevents possible spills from dirtying your oven.
- You can test doneness by gently shaking the pie; it should jiggle slightly but not be liquid in the center.
- Refrigerating overnight enhances the texture and flavor of the pie.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute buttermilk and creamer with suitable plant-based alternatives.
