Ingredients

  • 2 pie crusts, either store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped California walnuts, divided
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon rum
  • 3-1/2 ounces dark baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room temperature

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. If using homemade pie crust, make the crust, and when ready, roll out the dough to create a bottom and a top crust.
  3. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan, and line the pan with one crust. Using a fork, poke lots of holes into the bottom and sides of the dough.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1-3/4 cup walnuts, honey and rum; stir until combined. The filling mixture will be liquid-y, but will soak into the crust during baking.
  5. Pour the filling into prepared tart pan and cover with the top crust. Do not crimp the edges but rather, cut off the crusts flush with the edge of the pan.
  6. Place pan on baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes until the crust is golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
  8. Place chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.
  9. In small saucepan, heat the cream until very hot, just before it simmers. Pour over the chocolate in bowl, stirring until the chocolate melts. Add butter, stir until combined.
  10. Cool chocolate glaze to room temperature and spread over top of tart, adding remaining 1/4 cup walnuts to garnish.
  11. Serve at room temperature.
