Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PECAN CRUST
2 1/2 c pecans - toasted or not
1/2 c sugar
3 - 4 Tbsp melted, salted butter
GANCAHE FILLING
14 oz giaradelli semi sweet chocolate chips - or another quality brand
2 c heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree. Toast pecans on a sheet pan 10 - 12 minutes. ( optional)
  • 2. Place the toasted pecans on food processor along with 1/2 cup sugar. Pulse until looks like sand.
  • 3. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of butter into the crumbs, pulse until you see it's going to stick together. If you need the 4th tablespoon, go ahead and add it, it won't hurt anything.
  • 4. Pat the pecan mixture into a 9 inch tart pan or 9 inch pie plate. Up the sides as well. Place in freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
  • 5. After chilling place in preheated oven to 10 - 12 minutes or until starting to color just a bit.
  • 6. Cool crust.
  • 7. Make Ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium bowl. In another sauce pan, heat cream until bubbly around the edges of pan. I stick my pinkie into the center to see if hot...but if bubbling around edges, that's a pretty good sign it's hot enough. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes. Then, whisk until all chips are blended and melted into the cream. Will have a beautiful sheen.
  • 8. Pour this evenly into the pecan crust. Place in refrigerator and chill for a good 2 hours.
  • 9. Remove from refrigerator and remove tart pan. Allow the tart to set at room temperature for 20 minutes before cutting... I serve this decadent dessert with just a dollop of whipped cream...it needs nothing else... Enjoy this creamy, smooth, chocolaty indulgence.
