Turtle Bourbon Pecan Tart

Turtle Bourbon Pecan Tart with pecans, chocolate and Four Roses bourbon – heavenly!

Recipe courtesy Morgan Murphy, printed by permission. I was provided a bottle of Four Roses bourbon and compensation for the ingredients. All opinions are my own.

To begin whisk together 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt. You can do this in a mixing bowl, or like I am doing here – your food processor. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter that has been cut into pieces. Use a pastry blender in the bowl. If using the food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times. Sprinkle in 5 tablespoons of ice water. Stir to combine, or pulse the processor until mixed.

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Roll out the dough and place in a 10 inch tart pan. Tuck and crimp the edges. Set it aside for a moment.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir them together.

Add in 3 eggs, 1/3 cup sweetened, condensed milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Whisk them together.

Add in 2 tablespoons of Four Roses bourbon, 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1 1/4 up of pecan halves. Stir to combine.

Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 27-30 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the center is almost set.

Cool it for 3 or more hours on a cooling rack.

Cut into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if you desire.

Enjoy!
