Pro Tips

• Make sure to soften the butter before you begin making this recipe.
• Feel free to use whatever types of chocolate chips you like the best. Semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips would all work well in this recipe but you could also use chopped chocolate.
• Line the cake pan with parchment paper to ensure that you can remove the pie from it easily.
• If you don’t have any hazelnut cream on hand, you could use melted chocolate instead.
• For added texture, you could sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top of the hazelnut cream layer.

What to Serve with Chocolate Crumble Pie?

Similar to regular chocolate chip cookies, this chocolate crumble pie is perfect with a cold glass of milk. However, feel free to serve it with hot tea or coffee instead as well.

Can I Use Brown Sugar in Chocolate Crumble Pie?

Yes, if preferred, you could replace half of the white sugar with brown sugar for a more traditional chocolate chip cookie appearance. The brown sugar will darken the color of the dough and give it a more molasses flavor.

Can I Make Chocolate Crumble Pie Dairy-Free?

Yes, you definitely could! Simply replace the butter with a plant-based butter and the chocolate with dairy-free chocolate.

Can I Use Whole Wheat Flour in Chocolate Crumble Pie?

Yes, you could use some whole wheat flour in this pie recipe. However, it would be best to only replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour as too much whole wheat flour can make recipes more dense in texture.
