Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 recipe Chocolate Tart Crust, recipe follows
6 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tbsp dark rum
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups coarsely crumbled Chocolate Pralines, recipe follows
1 recipe Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
1 recipe Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla Ice Cream
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Gently fit the dough into a 10 inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, easing the pastry gently into the bottom and sides. Trim the edges of the dough so that they overhang slightly over the edge of the tart pan, then fold this excess dough over the sides so that the outer edges are almost twice as thick as the bottom of the crust. Press so that the edges are flush with the top of the pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line the tart shell with parchment paper and pie weights, beans, or rice and bake until set and the edges just begin to firm up, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake until completely set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325. To prepare the tart filling, combine the sugars and flour in a large bowl and stir to blend. Add the eggs, dark and light corn syrups, rum, vanilla, and salt and whisk to blend.
Crumble the pralines evenly over the bottom of the prepared tart shell and pour the filling over the pralines. Bake until the tart is set, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To serve, cut the tart into 8 slices. Spoon about 1 1/2 tbsp of the Caramel Sauce onto the center of 8 dessert plates and arrange the slices on top. Drizzle each slice with about 3 tbsp of the Chocolate Sauce and arrange a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream to the side. Serve immediately.
Chocolate Tart Crust:
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch salt
8 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt into a large bowl. With your fingers, incorporate the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the egg to make a soft dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour before using.
Chocolate Pralines:
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped pecans
2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Line a large heavy baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
Combine the sugars, heavy cream, and butter in a large heavy saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugars have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches the softball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the heat, add the pecans and chocolate chips, and stir vigorously until the pecans remain suspended in the mixture, about 2 minutes. Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading with the back of the spoon to form a thin layer of uniform thickness. Cool completely and then crumble, as needed. (Alternatively, make individual pralines by dropping the hot praline mixture by the spoonful onto the prepared baking sheet, let cool, and then remove with a thin knife.)
Caramel Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp to 1/4 cup milk
Combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium heavy saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let boil without stirring until the mixture becomes a deep amber color, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Carefully add the cream or it may splatter, whisk to combine, and remove from the heat. Add the milk, 2 tbsp at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before using.
Chocolate Sauce:
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 pound semisweet chocolate chips (1 1/3 cups)
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Scald the half-and-half and butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
Place the chocolate and vanilla in a medium heatproof bowl. Add the hot half-and-half and let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Serve slightly warm. (The sauce can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; rewarm gently before serving.)
