Wooh! I hosted Thanksgiving this year and it was quite the endurance test and a lot of fun! Since this was my first time hosting Thanksgiving, I of course still wanted to handle dessert but needed to make sure it was easy and could be made ahead. And then a lightning bolt went off and it all made sense: PECAN TART! I built off of another tart recipe I previously made and adapted it for this occasion… pecan-cinnamony-caramely-cocoa sprinkled goodness is what I was left with. I had 0 pieces left over regardless of how stuffed everyone was… so I think it was a success. Feel free to make most of this the night before serving and just add the toppings (caramel sauce and cocoa powder) day of.
For the crust:
For the pecan paste:
Top with pecans (approx. 1 cup)
Other toppings shown:
Drizzled with raw date caramel sauce (from this cookbook, or check this one out, or use your own favorite caramel recipe!)
Sprinkled with cocoa powder
