The first time I tasted my friend's dessert was at a Christmas party that she was having. I got a copy of the recipe and now it's a yuletide tradition for my family. The white chips, cranberries and orange peel take pecan pie to a scrumptious new level. -Karen Moore, Jacksonville, Florida

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pie crust (refrigerated or home made)
1 c. fresh or frozen cranberries
1 c. pecan halves
1 c. chocolate chips (dark is best)
3 eggs
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
2 T. flour
1 t. grated orange peel (lemon works too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚. Prepare pie crust as directed for a one crust pie using a 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Do not pre-bake. Layer cranberries, pecans and chips in crust lined pan. In a large bowl, beat eggs and add brown sugar, corn syrup, flour and grated peel. Blend well. Pour over ingredients in pie shell. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400˚ for 35-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is set in the center. Cover with spray coated foil after 25 minutes to prevent over browning of the filling. Cool 2 hours. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • To make the cranberry sauce, use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality chocolate for the best results. You can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, depending on your preference.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular pie pan. Just trim the excess pastry dough around the edges.
  • To prevent the tart from getting soggy, make sure to pre-bake the pastry dough before filling it.
  • When baking the tart, keep an eye on it so that the crust doesn't get too brown. If it starts to get too dark, cover it with foil.

Conclusion:

This cranberry chocolate pecan tart is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart crust is buttery and flaky, the cranberry sauce is tart and tangy, the chocolate ganache is rich and decadent, and the pecans add a nice crunch.
