CHOCOLATE COCONUT PECAN TART



Chocolate Coconut Pecan Tart image

This dessert adds coconut and pecans to a buttery chocolate shortbread crust, which is baked it until the whole thing is glossy and crisp on top. It tastes a little like pecan pie and a little like a candy bar - which is to say perfect.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), room temperature
60 grams confectioner's sugar (about 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
1 large egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
20 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons heavy cream
55 grams dark brown sugar (about 1/3 cup)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons bourbon
30 grams coconut flakes (about 1/2 cup)
175 grams whole pecans (about 1 3/4 cups)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together 8 tablespoons butter and the confectioner's sugar. Beat in the yolk until combined, then beat in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. With the mixer running on low, beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Scrape the dough into a ball and flatten into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 11-inch round. Transfer to a 10-inch fluted tart pan. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the crust with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake 15 minutes; remove weights and foil and return crust to the oven to bake until dry to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes more. Cool.
  • Melt the remaining stick of butter. In a bowl, combine butter, honey, cream, brown sugar, egg, bourbon and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Pour filling into the crust. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is gently set, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

COCONUT-PECAN TART



Coconut-Pecan Tart image

Elegan and gluten free, this tart starts with a no-bake, press-in crust made with coconut and almond flour-no rolling out or blind-baking required. The filling is an enchanting elixir of butter, sugar, cream, and condensed milk speckled with coarse semisweet chocolate and pecan halves (imagine the best candy bar you've never eaten). Sprinkle on salt flakes, and slice it thin; even a sliver will satisfy.

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable-oil cooking spray or vegetable oil, for pan
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
Pinch of kosher salt
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
8 ounces pecan halves (2 cups)
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (from a 14-ounce can)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the Crust: Spray a 9-by-1-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray (or brush with oil). In a bowl, combine coconut, flour, and kosher salt. Stir in butter and syrup until mixture has the texture of wet sand and no dry flour remains (it should be crumbly but hold together when pinched between your fingers).
  • Sprinkle evenly over bottom of prepared pan, with slightly more of mixture at edges, then press evenly into bottom and up sides of pan (since crust is thin, it's important to distribute evenly before packing down). Refrigerate until ready to use or, covered, up to 1 day.
  • For the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, cream, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer tart pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Pour cooled butterscotch into crust, smoothing to edges with an offset spatula. Sprinkle chocolate and pecans into crust. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over chocolate-pecan mixture.
  • Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly in places, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Carefully remove sides from pan and let cool completely (if crust is sticking anywhere along sides of pan, loosen by running a paring knife up and down in sticky spots before removing). To serve, sprinkle with flaky salt and cut into fingers.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE



Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Here is a pie that might make Thanksgiving purists shake their heads. Chocolate and pecan? But bear with us. The bittersweet chocolate adds depth to what is traditionally an achingly sweet pie, and the bourbon gives it a grownup finish. For detailed instructions on pie crust, check out our pie guide.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150 grams), plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, preferably high-fat, European style, chilled and cubed
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water, as needed
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (170 grams)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (56 grams)
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
4 large eggs
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100 grams)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (5 grams)
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms chickpea-size pieces. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together. It should be moist but not wet. On a lightly floured surface, gather the dough into a ball. Flatten into a disk with the heel of your hand. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • On a lightly floured surface, after removing plastic wrap, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer crust to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, then crimp edges. Prick crust all over with a fork. Chill crust for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line chilled crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until very pale golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast nuts, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Make the filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth; cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cooled chocolate-butter mixture, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, bourbon and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Arrange pecans over filling. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the filling is just set when the pan is jiggled, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use a food processor to pulse the butter and flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from becoming too warm.
  • Don't overmix the dough as this can result in a tough crust. Mix just until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the filling. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the tart.
  • Be patient when tempering the chocolate. This process takes time, but it's important to do it correctly to ensure a smooth and glossy filling.
  • When baking the tart, use a tart pan with a removable bottom. This will make it easy to remove the tart from the pan after it's baked.
  • Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate coconut pecan tart is a delicious and sophisticated dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate, coconut, and pecans is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
