Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
¾ cup cold butter
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
¼ cup cold milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup coarsely chopped pecans
⅔ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
⅔ cup sliced almonds
⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Combine egg yolks and milk in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough is blended.
  • Press dough, using lightly floured hands, into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line the unpricked shell with a double thickness of aluminum foil. Place pan on a large baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine condensed milk, maple flavoring, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir pecans, walnuts, and almonds into the batter.
  • Remove shell from the oven, leaving oven on, and fill with batter.
  • Return tart to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle tart with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened and filling is firm.
