Indulge in a decadent delight with our Coffee Chocolate Pecan Tart, where rich espresso-infused chocolate meets toasted pecans in a buttery, flaky crust. Perfect for a coffee lover's dessert dream!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of pre-made pie dough
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp Balzac's Anniversary Blend, strongly brewed
- 2/3 cup corn syrup
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup roughly chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Shape the dough based on the measurement of your muffin pan of choice.
- Grease the muffin pan with butter. Place the dough into the cups of the muffin pan. Press your thumb into the center of each dough to create a divot. Using your thumb, push the dough up the sides of the muffin pan until the dough rises slightly above the rim of the pan.
- For the filling, add melted butter, brewed coffee, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, and whisk until well combined.
- Add pecans to the mixture and stir to combine.
- To the tart shells, add chopped chocolate to the base. Top with pecan mixture until level with the top of the crust.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is slightly golden brown.
- Filling will puff up but flatten back down when cooled.
