Pumpkin Chocolate-Spiderweb Tart image

Pumpkin and chocolate may seem like an unlikely pairing, but they're wicked good in this tart. Pure pumpkin purée is blended with familiar flavors including cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

Yield Makes one 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
8 ounces creme fraiche or sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Chocolate Crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, creme fraiche, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves until smooth. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl (discard solids). Pour filling into prepared crust, just to top edge.
  • Bake until filling is set, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool at least 30 minutes.
  • Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water; heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Transfer chocolate to a parchment paper cone or resealable bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner. Pipe about 15 evenly spaced lines radiating out from center of tart. Pipe curved lines around perimeter of tart, connecting each spoke. Continue piping curved lines, spacing them closer together as you near the center. Refrigerate tart until set, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but this tart changed my mind. The chocolate spiderweb design is so cute, and the pumpkin filling is perfectly spiced. I'll definitely be making this again.

The tart was a bit too runny for my liking, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

The tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try using a different type of chocolate next time.
