Chocolate brownie tart

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Flour (all purpose)
¼ cup Firmly packed light brown sugar
1 ounce Chocolate; unsweetened, grated
½ cup Butter; cut into 1/2 inch pieces, well chilled
2 tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3 ounces Unsweetened chocolate
3 ounces Semisweet chocolate
½ cup Butter; room temperature, cut into 1 tblsp pcs
1½ cup Sugar
3 Eggs; beaten to blend
2 teaspoons Vanilla
½ cup Chopped walnuts
¾ cup All purpose flour
4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate; melted
¼ Butter; room temperature
2 teaspoons Vegetable oil

Directions

For Pastry:

Combine flour, brown sugar and grated chocolate in large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in milk and vanilla with fork until just blended. Pat pastry into bottom and sides of 11 inch tart pan, flouring fingertips as needed if mixture becomes too sticky.

For Filling:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolates in top of double boiler set over hot water. Remove from heat and stir in butter one piece at a time.

Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add sugar and blend well; mixture will be granular. Add beaten eggs, a third at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Stir in chopped nuts. Gradually add flour, blending well after each addition. Pour into pastry shell. Bake until center is just set and tester inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let tart cool on wire rack.

For Icing:

Combine chocolate, butter, and oil in large bowl and mix until smooth. Cool to spreadable consistency, whisking occasionally. Spread icing over top of tart. Let stand until icing sets. Cut into wedges to serve.

NOTE: The chocolates for the filling can be melted in the microwave and it works just fine, as well as the chocolate for the icing. Just be sure not to burn the chocolate or you'll have one very bitter dessert on your hands.
