Description
Bold, rich, and irresistibly boozy—this chocolate bourbon pecan tart is a sophisticated twist on a Southern classic. With a buttery chocolate crust, a gooey bourbon-laced filling, and toasted pecans on top, it’s a show-stopping dessert that delivers decadence in every bite.
Ingredients
For the crust:
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg yolk
2–3 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
¾ cup light corn syrup
½ cup brown sugar
3 tbsp bourbon
3 large eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
1¼ cups pecan halves
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Make the crust: Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles crumbs. Mix in egg yolk and ice water just until dough forms. Press into a 9-inch tart pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Dock the crust with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
Make the filling: In a bowl, whisk corn syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
Pour filling into pre-baked crust. Bake 35–40 minutes, until center is set.
Cool completely before serving.
