This Pecan Chocolate Tart is made is with whole pecans, semi-sweet chocolate, and golden syrup and is completely addicting.  
 

This is the pie I eat for breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving while shopping online for all the great sales.

  1. Roll the dough into an 11-inch circle.
  2. I like to roll the crust onto the rolling pin.  Unroll the dough over the top of the tart pan.
  3. Press the dough firmly into the crimped edges.
  4. Take the rolling pin and run it across the top of the tart pan.  This will cut the dough just super slick.
  5. Remove the extra dough.  
  6. Place the unbaked tart shell on a lined baking sheet.  Set aside.

  1. In a large bowl, beat the egg.  Slowly add the sugar, whisking all the time.  Add the golden syrup or honey, corn syrup, and cream.  Mix together and beat well.
  2. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.
  3. Pour mixture into the prepared tart shell.
  4. Spread evenly.
  5. Pop into a preheated 375-degree oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until puffed and golden brown
  6. Remove from the oven.  Let cool for about 5 minutes.  Not much longer or you won’t get it out of the tart pan.

Center the baked tart on top of a large can and the ring should just drop right off.  Remove the bottom metal pan from the tart. like to put my tart on a 10-inch cardboard round.  Let cool completely. The tart can be placed on a serving platter and served once cooled.  

OR wrap the entire disk and tart in plastic wrap.  Then wrap in a large sheet of aluminum foil.  Wrap tight and place in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.  Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

    Oh boy! Came across this wonderful recipe a couple of weeks ago and have been looking forward to making it for Thanksgiving. I forgot to get the light cream, think it would be almost as good with whole milk?

    You have made my day. Really! Oh, the bread my kiddos RAVED about this morning. They already have me making another loaf and my 10-year-old son that gets up at 5:30am every morning has offered to preheat the oven so the bread can be done before they leave for school! I am looking forward to making so many of your suggestions. AMAZING!!! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world. And please, invite me over for dinner anytime! Ann

      The bread is addicting. What a cute story. My son and I baked so much bread the first few months of discovery that we went through 100 lbs of flour. That's crazy! Happy thanksgiving. Thank you for such a fun comment.

    The only thing that looks better than your pecan tart is your cake stand. Is that FireKing?

      I'm not sure. I bought them from Ebay thinking they were Jadite…they were advertised as Jadite, but I don't think they're vintage. I was hoping they were.

    Pies this good deserve to be eaten first!
    Our family has a "PIE FIRST" Thanksgiving tradition: Put all the pies on the counter in the morning. Enjoy a slice of each for breakfast! Tuck into turkey, potatoes, and gravy in the afternoon. Have more pie later in the evening. Pie heaven!
