FAVORITE CHOCOLATE-BOURBON PECAN TART



Favorite Chocolate-Bourbon Pecan Tart image

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

Chocolate truffles are spiked with bourbon and then rolled in chopped pecans.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h30m

Yield makes 12-24 truffles (depending on the size)

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (not chips)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/3 cup finely chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir once to mix the chocolate and cream together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Uncover and whisk until smooth and shiny. Microwave in 10 second increments if there are any un-melted lumps of chocolate. Stir in the bourbon.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the chocolate and set aside in a cool place until the chocolate is thick and firm enough to hold its shape when rolled, about 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use 2 spoons to drop small mounds of chocolate onto the baking sheet. Then, with cold hands, roll each truffle between your open palms to make smooth round balls. You may need to run your hands under cool water frequently as you work.
  • Put the pecans on a plate and roll each truffle until well coated. Refrigerate until very cold.

Time 4h

Yield About 50 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups finely ground pecans
10 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1/4 pound butter, softened but not melted
4 tablespoons bourbon
2/3 cup unsweetened European-style cocoa

Steps:

  • Preheat a broiler. Spread the nuts on a foil-lined baking sheet and place under the broiler for about a minute to toast them lightly and evenly. Do not allow them to burn. Set them aside.
  • Shave the chocolate into a heatproof mixing bowl and place the bowl over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate is nearly all melted. Remove the bowl and stir the chocolate until smooth. Stir in the nuts and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Stir in the butter and the bourbon. Refrigerate the mixture until it is firm.
  • When firm, remove from the refrigerator and allow to soften for about 15 minutes. Place the cocoa in a shallow dish. Using a spoon, scoop half-tablespoons of the chocolate mixture, form somewhat uneven balls about an inch in diameter and roll them quickly into the cocoa. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The balls can also be frozen without the cocoa for later use and dusted with cocoa just before serving.
