Number Of Ingredients 11

Crust:
3/4 cup pecan halves
1 1/4 cup flour
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 large egg yolk
Ganache Filling:
11 oz bittersweet, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp frangelico

Steps:

  • Oven 350*. Toast nuts until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and cool completely. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the nuts, flour, sugar and salt into a fine powder. Add the butter and yolk and pulse just until the dough comes together. Using your hands, gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerater for at least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 375*. Fill tart pan with dough. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake 20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Remove to a rack and cool. Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then gently whisk until fully incorporated. Add the Frangelico and whisk until smooth. Set aside until it has cooled a bit, about 20 minutes. Pour ganache into the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set. Remove from fridge at least 30 mintues before serving.
