Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender to work it into the flour mixture.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 20 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Pour the sugar mixture into the cooled tart shell, followed by the melted chocolate. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream or chopped nuts, if desired.
