Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart Pampered Chef Recipes

CHOCOLATE PECAN LATTICE TART - PAMPERED CHEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Combine chocolate chips and butter in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 20-40 seconds until melted and smooth. Stir after each 20 second interval.
• Add chopped pecans, brown sugar, egg, corn syrup, and vanilla to the melted chocolate. Set aside.
• Unroll one pie crust onto a lightly floured baking stone and roll to a 13 inch circle.
• Unroll second pie crust. Gently fold in half and cut into 12 strips (approximately 3/4 inch wide).
• Spoon chocolate/pecan mixture onto the center of the circular dough and spread in an even 10 inch circle, leaving about 2-3 inches of dough on the outside.
• Carefully twist six of the pie crust strips and place over filling in horizontal rows. Twist remaining strips and place vertically, creating a lattice effect.
• Firmly press the ends of the strips onto the edge of the crust.
• Fold edge of crust over the ends of the strips, pinching the edges to seal.
• Bake 28-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Cut into wedges and serve!

CHOCOLATE-PECAN TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie dough to a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Wrap dough around rolling pin, and unwrap over a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough into bottom and up sides of pan; trim edge of dough.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, light corn syrup, 4 teaspoons melted butter, and the vanilla. Scatter chocolate evenly over tart shell. Pour filling over chocolate. Arrange pecans on top, as desired. Dot with 2 teaspoons chilled butter.
• Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until filling is set, 45 to 60 minutes. If pecans are browning too quickly, tent pan with foil. Remove from oven; while still hot, drizzle with bourbon, if desired. Let tart cool completely before serving.
