BETH'S CHOCOLATE PECAN TART RECIPE
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
For Pie Crust:
1 1/3 cups (160 g) flour
½ cup (120 g) of butter
2 tbsp (25 g) sugar
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1 egg yolk
¼ cup (60 ml) ice water
For Filling:
4 oz (113 g) bittersweet chocolate
½ cup (120 g) of butter
¾ cup (150 g) of sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 egg
3 egg yolks
¼ cup (30 g) of flour
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1 ¼ cup (190 g) whole pecans
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F (176C).
To make crust place flour, sugar and salt in a bowl, whisk together. Then add chilled butter that is cut into small cubes. Work butter into flour with your hands until a coarse meal develops.
In a small bowl mix together the egg yolk and ¼ cup (60 ml) of ice water. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir with a fork until a dough forms. Then go in with floured hands and smush the dough around the bowl making sure the butter is incorporated and dough comes together. Add a little more water, a tbsp at a time if dough appears too dry.
Roll dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk.
Roll out dough on floured surface into a large circle 1/8 “ (3mm) thick. Fit into 9 (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold dough back over the sides and crimp to create a double crust around the edges.
Trim dough with a knife so edges are flush with the tart pan. Pop tin in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute. Then add sugar, vanilla, egg and yolks. Stir to combine.
Then add flour and salt, stir to combine.
Remove tart pan from the freezer, pour filling into pan. And top with 3 rows of whole pecans in concentric circles. Place 2-4 pecans in the center decoratively however they fit.
Bake 20 mins. Then 5 mins more to turn pastry golden brown, but covered with foil so pecans don’t burn.
Serve with homemade whipped cream! (spiked with 2 tbsp (30 ml) of bourbon!)
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM:
Ingredients:
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
2 tbsp (30 ml) bourbon
METHOD:
Beat cream on high until soft peaks form. Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Enjoy!

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Crust
00:24 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper or foil, using enough so that the excess hangs over the sides (you’re effectively making a sling that you’ll use to remove the bars after baking and cooling).
00:29 Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the basin of a food processor and briefly pulse until combined.
01:28 Scatter butter over the top of the mixture and pulse again until just combined and small butter pieces are still remaining.
02:23 Add heavy cream and pulse again until dough is still sandy/just beginning to cling together but will stick together if pressed between your thumb and forefinger (this is about 25-30 1-second pulses for me).
03:17 Pour crumbly mixture into prepared baking pan and use your hands or the back of a spoon to evenly flatten into the pan.
04:17 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake until the crust is just beginning to turn light golden brown, about 25 minutes. While crust is baking, prepare your pecan pie bar topping.
Pecan Pie Bar Topping
04:26 Melt butter and set aside so it has some time to cool.
04:45 In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and flour and whisk until well-combined and lump free.
05:12 Add eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract and salt and stir until completely combined and then drizzle in melted butter and stir to combine.
06:13 Stir in chopped pecans.
06:25 Once crust has finished baking, pour pecan pie filling over warm crust (use a spatula to evenly distribute the filling/nuts if needed). Return to oven and bake on 350F (175C) for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the center does not jiggle when the pan is jostled.
07:12 Allow to cool for 4-6 hours or overnight before cutting and serving.
Notes
Preparing without a food processor
Note that while the crust for pecan pie bars can be prepared without a food processor (using a grater or pastry cutter or rubbing the butter into the mixture), it will be very, very difficult to work together. This is a dry dough that really benefits from the power of a food processor, so use yours if you have it!
Corn syrup
I prefer to use light corn syrup, dark corn syrup will work but I find it makes the bars richer in a way that I found to be overpowering. I do not know of a substitute that will work as well as corn syrup; maple syrup and honey tend to make the filling too loose/runny.
Pecans
I tried this recipe toasting the pecans first and without toasting the pecans and did not find a significant difference and the extra step to be unnecessary. However, you can feel free to toast the pecans first!
Storing
After cooling/cutting, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
