Recipe: Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pie

By Gwen Ashley Walters

Chocolate Macadamia Nut Pie

From Kona Village Resort, Hawaii
8 servings

1 tablespoon butter
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
4 large eggs
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chopped unsalted macadamia nuts, about 8 ounces
9-inch piecrust, uncooked

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Melt butter and chocolate together in a double boiler over simmering water. Set aside to cool for 2 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, beat eggs at high speed with a mixer until frothy, about 1 minute, then reduce speed to medium and beat in chocolate mixture, corn syrup, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth, about another minute or so.

4. Stir in macadamia nuts and pour into prepared piecrust.

5. Bake until firm in the middle, about 40-50 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean when done.

6. Remove and cool 20 minutes before serving. This pie slices easier if chilled first.
