Chocolate Pecan Tart

Hi guys today I will be sharing a recipe I got from my Cadbury book I modify some of the process and ingredients to make it to  my liking hope you give this a try , and I can guarantee that you gonna love this too

for the ingredients

1 1/4 cup plain flour

125 g cold butter cut into cubes

1/4 cup ground almonds

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

 For the Filling 

1 can 395 g condensed milk

150 g dark baking chocolate ( I used 45 percent cocoa )

60 g buttter

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs 

1 1/2 cup pecan nuts

Optional 

100 g white chocolate

sprinkles of choc crispies

extra pecan nuts

Combine flour, almonds, salt and butter using a food processor or pastry blender  mix and cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs , then add the sugar. In a separate bowl crack 1 egg and beat using a fork combine this with the rest of the dough mixture. Gently knead the dough to form into a ball ( the dough is a little dry but do not be tempted to add water). 

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for atleast 30 mins. Roll out the pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper. Then line a 26cm round fluted tart pan with a removable base with the dough. Using a fork prick the dough well. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 deg Celsius for about 8-10 minutes or until base is just golden 

Toast the pecan in a pan until it is fragrant.

Combine the extra butter, condensed milk, chocolate and vanilla in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until everything is well melted. Cool and then whisk in 2 eggs .

Place the pecan nuts in the pastry case then pour over the chocolate mixture. Bake in a moderate oven at 180 deg Celsius for 40 minutes or until cooked. Allow to cool in a pan .

To finish the tart drizzle with white chocolate and add choc crispies. Dip extra pecans in white chocolate about halfway before placing on the tart. You can serve with cream or ice cream. 

Happy Baking,
