Yield Makes one 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
8 ounces creme fraiche or sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Chocolate Crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, creme fraiche, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves until smooth. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl (discard solids). Pour filling into prepared crust, just to top edge.
  • Bake until filling is set, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool at least 30 minutes.
  • Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water; heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Transfer chocolate to a parchment paper cone or resealable bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner. Pipe about 15 evenly spaced lines radiating out from center of tart. Pipe curved lines around perimeter of tart, connecting each spoke. Continue piping curved lines, spacing them closer together as you near the center. Refrigerate tart until set, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).

Yield Makes one 10-inch tart shell

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
4 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add butter; mix on low speed until butter is the size of small peas, about 5 minutes. Add egg; mix until ingredients come together to form a dough.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to just thicker than 1/8 inch. Brush off excess flour; transfer dough to a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough into bottom and up sides of pan; trim excess flush with edge. Lightly prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake shell until firm, about 15 minutes. Immediately sprinkle chocolate over bottom of shell; smooth with a spatula.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tart will taste. If possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the tart tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind bake the tart crust: This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy. To blind bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the tart pan with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

This pumpkin chocolate spiderweb tart is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Halloween or any other special occasion.
