375g pack shortcrust pastry
a little flour , for dusting
185g dark chocolate
50g salted butter
4 eggs , beaten
200ml maple syrup
200g whole pecan nuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 20cm loose-bottomed tart tin.

  • Melt the chocolate and butter together in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk the eggs and maple syrup together, then stir into the chocolate with most of the nuts.
