Cranberry Chocolate Pecan Tart

- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups pecan halves, toasted
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- One 11-inch tart shell made with Basic Pastry Dough and prebaked in a tin with removable sides
- 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup molasses
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark rum
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions:
The addition of chocolate and cranberries are unexpected accents to this otherwise familiar flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Distribute the chocolate, pecans, and cranberries evenly in the tart shell.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until the sugar dissolves and everything is well blended. Pour the mixture into the tart shell.
- Bake until set, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack.
- When the tart is cool, remove the sides of the tart tin and serve.
