Orange Chocolate Tart Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 8-10 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, cubed
7 ounces semisweet chocolate, divided
1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whipped topping
Orange peel, optional

Directions

In a microwave-safe dish, melt butter and five chocolate squares. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, line a 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with pastry. Line pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Remove the foil; bake 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat to 350°.
In a small bowl, beat eggs, sugar and orange extract until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture. Beat in flour; mix well. Pour into crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. Melt remaining chocolate. Pour melted chocolate into a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe eight to 10 small hearts onto the waxed paper. Refrigerate until set. Spread whipped topping on pie; garnish with chocolate hearts and orange peel if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8-10 servings.
