Chip Nut Pie
A rich chocolate chip and nut pie with a buttery crust, perfect for dessert or special occasions, offering a delightful combination of sweetness, crunch, and chocolate goodness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter and let it cool.
- Beat the eggs by hand until frothy.
- Add the sugar, flour, cooled butter, and vanilla; mix well by hand.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Pour the mixture into two unbaked pie crusts.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and solid in the center.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a lighter version. If you prefer, mix in different types of nuts such as pecans or walnuts. Ensure the butter is fully cooled before adding to the mix to prevent cooking the eggs. This recipe is similar to classic American recipes that incorporate chocolate and nuts.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chip Nut Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Potatoes With Pineapple for a delightful dessert spread. A cup of coffee or a glass of milk complements the pie perfectly, enhancing its rich flavors.

Store the leftover Chip Nut Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.
