Tart Crust

Method

Tart Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Tart Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Add egg yolk and cold water, mixing until dough forms. Press dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled crust for 15-20 minutes or until set. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Add Pecans

    Spread 1.5 cups of chopped pecans evenly over the cooled tart crust. Pour the chocolate filling over the pecans, ensuring they are completely covered.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours until set.
