Banana Berry Pie With Nut Brittle Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/3 pound chocolate cookies crushed
- 2 ounces chopped hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 pound bananas peeled and diced
- 1/3 pound frozen mixed berries
- 4 tablespoons chocolate sauce prepared
- To make the pastry shell, mix the butter and cookies together and press firmly into the bottom of a 7 inch diameter loose-bottomed pan. Chill.
- Meanwhile, to make the nut brittle, toast the hazelnuts in a frying pan for 4 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the 3 tbsp sugar to the pan and heat until caramelized. Return the nuts to the pan along with the cinnamon and stir until the nuts are coated. Spread on a piece of parchment paper to cool.
- To make the pie filling, mix the sour cream and remaining sugar in a bowl. Whip the whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks, gradually adding the vanilla extract. Fold into the sour cream mixture then fold in the bananas and berries. Spread on the pastry shell and chill for at least 3 hours.
- To serve, drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with the nut brittle.
