In case you haven’t been checking the calendar, Thanksgiving is next week. I’m sure many of you, like me, have been in planning mode in an effort to make everything as perfect as possible for the big day.
When I start thinking about Thanksgiving dessert, my thoughts usually turn to pie. And, it seems I’m not alone. I’ve teamed up with some wonderful bloggers to bring all of our readers Pie Week! What better time to celebrate pie?
The only tough part of this week is narrowing down what pies I want to bake. I decided to start with a recipe I’ve had bookmarked for a long time. This tart combines two of my favorite things – chocolate and pecans – into an amazingly simple tart.
It starts with a simple chocolate crust made with cocoa powder. That is then filled with a chocolate ganache and toasted pecans. Plus, I put a splash of coffee liqueur in the ganache for a little extra flavor. And, that’s all there is to it! You’ll be amazed at how simple this tart is to make.
For all of you who like to get ahead of the game, this is a great pie for making in advance. You can store it for a couple of days in the refrigerator. Then, just set it out at room temperature for a bit before serving.
You and your guests will devour this rich, decadent tart. I recommend small slices because it is seriously rich.
