This recipe offers a delightful Chocolate Pecan Tart, perfect for a cozy fall gathering. It combines rich chocolate with crunchy pecans in a buttery crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. For the crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined.
  2. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and ice water. Add to food processor and pulse until dough just begins to come together.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough into the pan and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.
  7. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  9. For the filling, in a medium bowl, combine chopped pecans, sugar, flour, salt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  10. Pour the pecan mixture evenly into the partially baked tart shell.
  11. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the pecan filling.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  13. Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before removing the sides of the tart pan.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is very cold for the flakiest crust.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing shrinkage during baking.
  • You can toast the pecans beforehand for a deeper flavor.
