Pecan Tart with Praline Cream
pastry for 9" pie
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup pecan halves
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp praline liqueur
2 tbs powdered sugar
Press pie pastry into a 9" tart pan with removable bottom, set pastry aside. Combine butter, 1 cup sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan, cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until all sugar dissolves. Let mixture cool slightly. Add beaten eggs, 1 tbs vanilla, and salt, stir well. Pour filling into prepared pastry shell, and top with pecan halves. Bake at 325 for 50-55 minutes. Place chocolate morsels in a heavy duty zip top plastic bag, seal. Submerge bag in boiling water until chocolate morsels melt. Snip a tiny hole in end of bag with scissors, drizzle melted chocolate thinly over top of pecan pie. Combine whipping cream, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and praline liqueur in mixing bowl, beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until mixture is foamy. Gradually add powdered sugar to whipped cream mixture, beating until soft peaks form. Serve on individual dessert plates. Spoon about 2 tbs whipped cream mixture onto each dessert plate. Place a slice of pie on top of cream mixture, and serve immediately. Makes 1 pie. |
