Caramelized Pecan and Prune Tart Recipe
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For 6 portions
- 80 g / 3/4 cup whole pecans
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 130 g / 3/4 cup coarsely chopped California prunes
- 1 (9 inch/23 cm) pie crust, pre-baked
- 60 g / 2 squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Method
- Preheat an oven to 190°C / 375°F.
- Place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 200°C / 400°F.
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium high heat, combine cream, sugar and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer slowly until mixture thickens slightly, approx. 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add pecans and prunes and mix together. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Pour filling into the pre-baked pastry shell, distributing nuts and prunes evenly. Bake 35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool the tart on a rack for 15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate. With a fork, using a back and forth motion, drizzle threads of chocolate onto the top of the tart, distributing evenly. Cut into pieces and serve.
