You're Going to Love This!

This next recipe is a favorite from Mallory Doyel, our Director of Communications, and she thinks you'll really enjoy it!  It's a quick, delicious dessert to serve 6-8 of your closest friends.  Don't forget to bring these friends to Chocolate Fest on October 20 to the Harrison Center!

Chocolate Fudge Tart

Ingredients:
flour for sprinkling

12 oz ready-made unsweetened pie dough

confectioners' sugar, to dust

1 1/4 cups golden granulated sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

6 eggs, beaten

Filling
5 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

6 oz butter, diced

Decorate
2/3 cup whipped cream

ground cinnamon

1.) Preheat the oven to 400F.  Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured counter and use to line an 8-inch/20-cm deep loose-bottom tart pan.  Prick the dough base lightly with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights (optional).  Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, or until the dough no longer looks raw.  Remove weights and foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the dough is firm.  Let cool.  Reduce the oven temp to 350F.  

2.) To make the filling, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of gently simmering water until melted (this can also be done in a microwave).  Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat and let cool.  Place the sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and eggs in a separate bowl and whisk until well blended.  Stir in the butter and chocolate mixture. 

3.) Pour the filling into the pastry shell and bake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until the filling is just set.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving with whipped cream sprinkled lightly with cinnamon.

4.) Enjoy!

No one can deny, this pie is sure to satisfy!
