🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Pecans (roughly chopped)
• 0.75 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 batch Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a food processor, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pulse to mix.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing just until the dough comes together.

5. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

6. Roll one dough disc out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a greased 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the excess dough.

7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

8. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the bottom of the prepared tart crust.

9. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully combined.

10. Stir in the chopped pecans, then pour the mixture over the chocolate layer in the tart shell.

11. Roll out the second dough disc and cut it into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling. Trim and press the edges to seal.

12. Brush the lattice with egg wash for a golden finish.

13. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

14. Allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing. Serve and enjoy!
