Store-bought puff pastry keeps the prep time for this tart to a minimum. Inspired by turtle candies, the filling is rich, nutty, and chewy.

Time 2h50m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from one 14-ounce package), preferably all-butter, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sanding sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ounce dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unfold dough on lightly floured parchment. Roll out into a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle, about 10 by 15 inches. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Fold edges in to form a 1-inch border. Pierce bottom of shell with a fork. Brush border with egg wash; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake shell until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Press down on bottom with an offset spatula to flatten (leave border puffy). Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, occasionally washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, swirling pan occasionally, until caramel is dark amber, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Gradually add cream (caramel will steam and spatter). Add butter and chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. Pour filling into tart shell and spread to cover bottom. Sprinkle with pecans and salt. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes; serve with whipped cream. Tart can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.
