Favorite Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan Tart

I grew up in Louisiana where, as in most of the South, pecan pie is a staple. This tart variation is extra good because it includes chocolate. I decided to up the decadence even more by adding bourbon and drizzling some caramel on top. —Amber Needham, San Antonio, Texas

Ingredients

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted
  • 1/4 cup hot caramel ice cream topping

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12-in. circle. Press onto bottom and up sides of an ungreased 11-in. tart pan with removable bottom. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • Beat eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, bourbon and salt. Stir in pecans. Pour over chocolate chips. Bake until center is just set and crust is golden brown, 30-35 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Cut into slices. Serve with caramel topping.
Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches): Combine 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp. salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 3-5 Tbsp. ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Editor's Note: To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
