Based on the photo, this is a creamy walnut pie with a crisp, crumbly crust and a rich vanilla-walnut filling.

Ingredients

For the crust

• 2 cups (200 g) graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs
• 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 pinch salt

For the walnut cream filling

• 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
• ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (115 g) finely chopped walnuts
• ½ cup (60 g) additional chopped walnuts for topping
• ¼ tsp salt

Optional

• ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, whipped
• A few whole walnut halves for decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust

1. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs.
2. Mix the crumbs with melted butter, brown sugar, and salt.
3. Press firmly into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, covering the bottom and sides.
4. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 8–10 minutes.
5. Allow the crust to cool completely.

2. Make the walnut cream

1. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.
2. Add the milk gradually while whisking.
3. Add the egg yolks and salt and whisk until smooth.
4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, about 5–8 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat.
6. Stir in the butter and vanilla.
7. Fold in the finely chopped walnuts.

3. Assemble the pie

1. Pour the warm walnut cream into the cooled crust.
2. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
3. Sprinkle generously with chopped walnuts.
4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream and walnut halves.

Method

Crush → Mix → Bake the crust → Prepare the vanilla cream → Add walnuts → Fill the crust → Garnish → Chill → Slice and serve.

The key to the smooth filling is to stir continuously while cooking so the cornstarch and egg yolks thicken evenly without forming lumps.

Benefits

• Walnuts provide unsaturated fats, plant-based protein, fiber, and minerals.
• Milk and eggs contribute protein and calcium.
• The walnuts also provide antioxidant compounds and micronutrients.
• Because this is a dessert, it is best enjoyed in moderate portions, especially if you’re watching added sugar or calories.
