Bourbon-Pecan Tart
Rich adaptation of pecan pie with chocolate sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup dark corn syrup
- 3 TBS all-purpose flour
- 2 TBS bourbon
- 2 TBS molasses
- 1 TBS butter melted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 1 – 2 cups pecan halves (I like it with more nuts / densely packed)
- Cooking spray
- ½ 15-oz refrigerated pie dough
Drizzle
- ½ oz chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet) chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Combine first 10 ingredients, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in pecans.
- Roll dough into a 13-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Trim excess crust using a sharp knife. Spoon sugar mixture into prepared crust. Bake at 350° F for 45-55 mins or until center is set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over tart.
