1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling:
1 cup sugar (preferably baker's sugar or other superfine sugar)
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/4 cups (about 9 ounces) walnuts, toasted, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter to processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse meal forms. Add 4 tablespoons ice water. Blend until dough just begins to come together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough; flatten into disk. Wrap; chill at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of overhang. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork; chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 20 minutes longer. Cool completely.
  • For filling:
  • Stir 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat. Bring to boil, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Boil without stirring until deep amber color, swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; add cream (mixture will bubble up). Return pan to low heat; whisk caramel until smooth. Add butter, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add all chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in nuts. Spread filling in crust.

CHOCOLATE KAHLUA WALNUT TART



Chocolate Kahlua Walnut Tart image

Received on line from Cooking.com and so pretty and described as: a delicious holiday tart tastes impressive, but it's a breeze to make. Warm, earthy chocolate, a hint of coffee-flavored liqueur and toasted walnuts are baked in a delicious shortbread cookie crust. Although the tart pan makes a pretty fluted edge, a 10-inch springform pan will work just as well.

Categories     Tarts

Time 48m

Yield 1 Tart, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 -4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2 cups toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons coffee liqueur

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To prepare the crust, pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Slowly pour the heavy cream mixture into the feed tube and pulse until the dough begins to come together; form into a disk.
  • With lightly floured hands, press the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to press the dough up to the rim.
  • Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Sprinkle the walnuts and chocolate chips evenly onto the bottom of the crust.
  • Meanwhile, to prepare the filling, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee liqueur. Pour over the walnuts. Bake until the mixture is bubbly around the edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the tart to set properly.
  • Store the tart in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
