Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 7-ounce container marshmallow cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, at room temperature
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 store-bought pumpkin pie
Seasonal chocolate lollipops, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the ganache: Put the chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the vanilla. Pour over the chocolate pieces and mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
  • For the marshmallow whipped cream: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the marshmallow cream and butter until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • In a mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk the cream in a separate mixer bowl until frothy. Lower the speed and gradually add the powdered sugar. When added, increase the speed and whisk until stiff peaks form. Add the marshmallow and butter mixture to the cream and whisk until smooth.
  • For the pie: Pour the ganache over the pumpkin layer. Let set at room temperature for 40 minutes or flash-chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Pile the marshmallow whipped cream over the ganache in a high-domed mound--scale is everything. Insert seasonal chocolate lollipops in the marshmallow whipped cream.

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE TART WITH CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM



Pumpkin Chocolate Tart with Cinnamon Whipped Cream image

This recipe is from my second cookbook, The Vintage Baker, and it is a personal fave. I love the (underappreciated) combo of pumpkin and chocolate. This tart has a chocolate cookie crust, but you can substitute a different cookie for the crust if you would like. Gingersnaps would be lovely, as would vanilla wafers flavored with cinnamon. -Jessie Sheehan, Brooklyn, New York, Jessie Sheehan Bakes

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the tart pan, ensuring an even distribution and no gaps.
  • To achieve a smooth and creamy ganache, use high-quality chocolate and heavy cream. Heat the cream until it reaches a simmer, then pour it over the chocolate and stir until completely melted and combined.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it onto the tart crust. This will help prevent the ganache from cracking as it sets.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can toast the tops of the meringue with a broiler set on low. Keep a close eye on the meringue to prevent burning.
  • For a beautiful presentation, sprinkle some cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or chopped nuts on top of the tart before serving.
