chocolate pecan tart


I decided to make the father in our house a pecan pie for Father's Day. As I was looking up recipes, I came across one from Paula Dean that looked perfect (and perfectly easy). What's better than pecan pie? Pecan Pie with chocolate! Then, as I was looking for a pie plate in my mother-in-law's kitchen, I saw a cool removable-bottom tart pan. So that's what today's treat turned into. And everyone was happy. The end.
Paula Deen's Chocolate Pecan Pie:
Ingredients:
1 pie dough crust
2 cups pecan halves
3 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons bourbon, or 1 tablespoon vanilla
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped. (or you could use chips)
Directions:
Preheat to 375.
1. Place dough in pie plate (or tart pan), and cover with pecan halves.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter.
3. Add the corn syrup, sugar, vanilla and chocolate. Stir to combine.
4. Pour into pie crust and bake for 10 minutes.
5. Turn oven down to 350 and bake for another 25 minutes.
Let cool until set. Serve with whipped cream and berries!
