Method

Prepare the Tart Crust

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water, stirring until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough and place it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let cool.

Make the Filling

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add sugar, corn syrup, and chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and eggs until well combined.

  2. 4

    Add Pecans and Bake

    Stir in the chopped pecans. Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart shell and bake for another 25-30 minutes until set. Let cool before serving.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the Tart

    Slice the tart and place each slice on a serving plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla gelato and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
