Ingredients

• 1 pre-made tart shell
• 1 1/2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made tart shell onto a baking sheet for stability.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the dark chocolate chips until smooth and combined.
3. Add in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and bourbon, mixing well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly incorporate the chocolate mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
5. Spread the chopped pecans evenly in the tart shell. Pour the chocolate mixture over the pecans, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the tart filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Helpful Tips

For a twist, consider adding a handful of coconut flakes or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. If you’re new to baking tarts, be sure to use a tart pan with a removable bottom to make serving a breeze.

Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Ingredient Substitutions: If bourbon isn’t to your liking, replace it with an equal amount of strong brewed coffee for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

This Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Tart pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For beverages, consider serving alongside a cup of rich coffee or a glass of tawny port to complement its deep flavors.
