Chocolate-Pecan Pie with Toasted Marshmallow Chantilly Cream

Course: Dessert
Servings

8

individual tarts

ingredients

  • TART DOUGH:
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 11⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

  • 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder

  • CHOCOLATE FILLING:
  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 8 ounces Callebaut or Valrhona 66% chocolate

  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

  • 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt

  • MARSHMALLOW CHANTILLY CREAM:
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup glucose, plus 1⁄4 cup for whipping with egg whites

  • 1⁄2 cup egg whites

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 cup toasted Georgia pecans (for garnish)

Directions

  • To make tart dough, combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment; mix on medium speed. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Sift flour and cocoa together and slowly add to bowl and mix. Place dough on counter and form into a flat disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. To make tart shell, on a lightly floured surface, roll the tart dough out to approximately 1⁄8 inch thick. Use the dough to fill 8 individual 4-inch tart pans. Blind bake for 8 minutes. Let cool. Tart shells can be made the day before and stored in a covered container at room temperature.
  • To make chocolate filling, heat cream in a medium-sized pan over medium heat until just warm. Pour into a bowl with the chocolate and stir to melt. Add butter and stir, then add salt. Cool slightly, then fill baked tart shells.
  • To make marshmallow chantilly cream, combine sugar, 1⁄2 cup water, and 1 cup glucose in a stainless-steel saucepan; heat until a candy thermometer reaches 240°F. Keep warm. Whip egg whites and 1⁄4 cup glucose in a medium-size bowl until fluffy and shiny but not dry. Add vanilla to egg whites. Continue whipping, adding hot sugar and glucose mixture, until light and fluffy.
  • To serve, top each tart with marshmallow chantilly cream and garnish with pecans. Toast marshmallow cream with a kitchen torch or in the broiler.
