Pecan & chocolate tart

Indulge in the delightful combination of rich chocolate and crunchy pecans with this exquisite Pecan & Chocolate Tart. Perfect for gatherings or a special treat, this dessert seamlessly blends sweetness and nuttiness in a flaky pastry crust.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
3/4 cup maple syrup
170g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup milk chocolate
120g
1 cup pecans
120g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and mix it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a tart pan to form the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and maple syrup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Slowly add the egg mixture into the cooled syrup, whisking continuously to prevent the egg from cooking.
- Stir in the chopped milk chocolate and pecans until combined.
4. Assemble the Tart:
- Pour the filling mixture onto the prepared tart crust.
- Spread it evenly to ensure the pecans and chocolate are distributed throughout.
5. Bake:
- Place the tart in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Pecan & Chocolate Tart!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is cold when you start, as this helps create a flaky crust.

- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them for an enhanced flavor.

- Let the tart cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and to allow the filling to set properly.

- Use high-quality maple syrup for the best taste.

With its perfect balance of flavors and textures, this Pecan & Chocolate Tart is sure to be a hit at any occasion. Follow these steps and tips to create a dessert that's not only delicious but also visually stunning. Enjoy every bite!
