The first time I tasted my friend's dessert was at a Christmas party that she was having. I got a copy of the recipe and now it's a yuletide tradition for my family. The white chips, cranberries and orange peel take pecan pie to a scrumptious new level. -Karen Moore, Jacksonville, Florida

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE PECAN TART

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pie crust (refrigerated or home made)
1 c. fresh or frozen cranberries
1 c. pecan halves
1 c. chocolate chips (dark is best)
3 eggs
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
2 T. flour
1 t. grated orange peel (lemon works too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚. Prepare pie crust as directed for a one crust pie using a 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Do not pre-bake. Layer cranberries, pecans and chips in crust lined pan. In a large bowl, beat eggs and add brown sugar, corn syrup, flour and grated peel. Blend well. Pour over ingredients in pie shell. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400˚ for 35-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is set in the center. Cover with spray coated foil after 25 minutes to prevent over browning of the filling. Cool 2 hours. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a tarter taste than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using them.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes until they just start to burst. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate is one of the main flavors in this tart, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate works well.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Chill the tart before serving: This will help the tart set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This cranberry chocolate pecan tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart is made with a flaky pastry crust, a creamy chocolate filling, and a tart cranberry topping. The combination of flavors and textures is irresistible. This tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
