    Salty Nocino Walnut Pie {Gluten-Free}

    Published Nov 25, 2014

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    A grown-up twist on a classic, this gluten-free walnut pie recipe includes a tipple of nocino walnut liqueur in addition to muscobado sugar, maple syrup, a creamy custard, and a mess of toasted walnuts.

    slice of delicious Salty Nocino Walnut Pie {Gluten-Free}

    I used to think of walnuts as the poor man's pecan. They were bitter, oddly shaped, and covered with an annoying papery skin. Why would anyone ever choose walnuts over pecans, I wondered? 

    walnuts on tray

    Then I tried Three Babe's salty honey walnut pie, and in addition to eating flaky crust, caramelized nuts and gooey honey custard, I also ate my words. I am obsessed with that pie.

    dry ingredients in bowl

    This is not that pie.

    stirring ingredients

    It turns out walnuts are happier to grow in California, and are therefore more local. In fact, ninety-nine percent of U.S. walnuts are grown in California.

    ingredients being mixed

    As for their bitter edge, I no longer consider it a drawback. Their assertive tannins can add dimension to sweets, bringing pies and cookies into balance. I'm fairly certain that a salty honey pecan pie wouldn't measure up quite as well (though I may have to eat a slice or three to find out...)

    pie mix being stirred

    Another win for walnuts is nocino, a liqueur made from unripe nuts and spices steeped in spirits (usually grappa or brandy) for a year. The resulting liquid is almost black in color, with a deep, earthy flavor reminiscent of a fine port crossed with an amaro. Nocino is usually sipped after a meal to aid digestion, and lately I've seen it popping up all over town. In fact, wanting to procure another bottle with which to make a recipe for nocino-roasted pears given to me by my chiropractor as she cracked my neck (she was also kind enough to write it down afterwards), I stopped in Local Cellar which stocks spirits made in California. They were out of nocino, they told me, but had a big vat of it brewing atop their beer cooler! Someday I hope to get my hands on some green walnuts to I can try making this version from Simply Recipes.

    pie filling poured into crust

    For now we found a bottle of Nocino Della Cristina, made in the Napa Valley, at Vintage Wine & Spirits in Mill Valley. The gentleman working there gave it a rave review, suggesting we try it both on its own and in coffee. We did, and we fell in love.

    sprinkling salt on pie

    So I splashed some into this pie. The earthy spice of the nocino adds complexity to a custard based on eggs, butter, maple syrup, unrefined muscobado sugar and vanilla. I added a bit of cream to bulk up the filling and smooth out the flavors, and I added a bit of rice flour to absorb excess moisture. A sprinkle of flaky salt over the top offsets the sweet richness of the filling. When baked, a layer of caramelized nuts gives way to a soft custard infused with the deep tastes of nuts and molasses.

    I used my usual flaky gluten-free pie crust here and it turned out wonderfully (though next time I hope to try this variation from the Salvation Sisters with added almond flour and baking powder).

    pie on table

    For the prettiest slices, chill the pie before cutting, then let the slices sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or so. If you're impatient as I was here, let the pie cool for an hour or two, then cut messy pieces and serve warm, topped with a scoop of melty vanilla ice cream and accompanied by a sip of nocino.

    And if you like, splash a little more over the top.

    Salty Nocino Walnut Pie {Gluten-Free}

    A grown-up twist on a classic, this gluten-free walnut pie recipe includes a tipple of nocino walnut liqueur in addition to muscobado sugar, maple syrup, a creamy custard, and a mess of toasted walnuts.
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 40 minutes
    Total: 1 hour
    Servings: 10 to 12 small but rich servings (makes one 9" pie)

    Ingredients

    For the pie:

    • 1 parbaked 9" flaky gluten-free pie crust
    • 3 cups raw walnut halves (9 ounces / 260 grams)
    • 1/2 cup unrefined cane sugar (muscobador dark brown sugar (3 ounces / 85 grams)
    • 2 tablespoons sweet white rice flour (or all-purpose flour if not gluten-free) (.5 ounce / 15 grams)
    • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted (4 ounces / 110 grams)
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/3 cup heavy cream (2.75 ounces / 75 grams)
    • 1/3 cup maple syrup (4 ounces / 110 grams)
    • 1/3 cup nocino walnut liqueur (I used this kind) (2.75 ounces / 75 grams)
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt (such as Maldon)
    • vanilla ice cream or barely sweetened whipped cream, for serving

    Instructions

    Let's make pie!:

    • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325º. Place the parbaked crust on a rimmed baking sheet (optionally lined with parchment for easy clean-up).
    • Spread the walnuts on another rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely, then break them into halves and quarters.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in the melted butter, then the eggs. Add the cream, maple syrup, nocino, and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Stir in the walnuts and pour the filling into the parbaked crust. Sprinkle evenly with the flaky salt.
    • Bake the pie until just set, 30-40 minutes. Ways to tell when the pie is done:
      -The pie wobbles slightly when you shake it from side to side, but doesn't slosh wetly.
      -An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160-165ºF.
      -When you press down on the center of the pie with the back of a spoon, the custard feels softly set, like Jell-o.
      -The sides of the pie may be very slightly puffed, but they should not be so puffed that the pie cracks around the edges.
    • Remove the pie from the oven and let cool completely, 2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Or chill before cutting for cleaner slices, letting the slices come to room temperature before serving.
    • The pie will keep at room temperature for up to a day, or chilled airtight for up to three days, though it is best the day of baking when the crust is crisp.

    Notes

    Loosely based on my Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie which was generously adapted from Cook's Country.
    If you don't have nocino on hand, you could try a different liqueur here such as coffee or hazelnut, decreasing the sugar a bit if the liqueur is on the sweet side. Alternatively, trade in walnuts for the pecans in my favorite Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie.
    I think you could throw down a layer of chopped bittersweet chocolate over the bottom of the crust prior to adding the filling for a chocolatey twist.
    You can use a wheat-based pie crust if not gluten-free.
    All ounce measurements here are by weight.
    Nutritional values are based on one of ten servings.

      Your pie turned out beautifully, Alanna! The nocino tasted like the perfect pairing for a sweet walnut pie. I can understand why you'd be impatient in waiting to cut into it. We need to figure out how to get that shop to sell some of their nocino to you!

We've got an English walnut tree in the backyard and it's usually just the squirrels who take advantage of all the walnuts it produces.

      Hello, just reading this posting! Thank you, it's lovely and am curious to try it. Did you ever try the Nocino recipe? It's from David Lebovitz (your link) and it's a great recipe, I make it every year or two. It would be most interesting to make with brandy. This year was the best ever for some reason- it varies year to year, more bitter or less.

      Hi Alanna. I've been looking in my area for the walnut liquor, do you think the brand matters? I've only seen nocello and I'm not sure it's strictly made with walnuts. I'm having a hard time deciding which pie to make..this or the maple bourbon pecan. They both sound so good☺

        Ooh I've never heard of nocello! Hm it's hard to advise without tasting them. I'd try to find one made with the most natural ingredients and minimal sweetness, but that info isn't always available for spirits. Let me know what you end up trying! The maple bourbon pecan is always a favorite, and whiskey is quite easy to come by of course. :)

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
