- 4. In another med. microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and 1/3 cup cream on high 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is smooth. Pour over filling. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set. To serve, let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before cutting. Store covered in refrigerator.
- 5. *If you do not have a tart pan..use a 9 by 13 inch pan and cut into squares, instead of wedges. Also, I used a tart pan that didn't have a bottom that was removeable...and it worked out fine. Just cut into wedges right from the tart dish.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to finely chop the pecans. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the filling.
- Be sure to press the filling firmly into the tart shells. This will help prevent them from cracking when you bake them.
- Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes.
- Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up.
- Garnish the tarts with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts before serving.
