Pecan Fudge Tart

With Easter hot on our heels, I've been trying to brainstorm something different to take to my in-laws for dinner this year. I feel like for the last 15 years I've switched between peanut butter balls or peanut butter pie because it's what is requested year after year, but I'm ready for a change. I've been going back and forth between a brownie trifle or a decadent tart because we all have a major sweet tooth in my family, a rich dessert will be in demand the replace the family favorites I'll be skipping this year. I saved a couple of trifles on my Pinterest dessert board, but I also had this Pecan Fudge Tart, a Golden Blossom Honey recipe, saved to test out. I did a trial run this week and once it all came together, the scales were tipped in the favor of this tart over all of the other dessert recipes I saved to Pinterest. 

 

This pecan fudge tart will delight anyone who has a sweet tooth as big as ours. Its rich filling really packs a punch in the sweetness department, so even if you have a big family to cater to, one tart will be enough because a little slice goes a long way!  I am a huge fan of pecan pie, but I know there are many who don't care for that dessert, so for me this is a great compromise. You get the pie loaded with pecans and a sweet filling without the syrupy, goopy mess that usually comes with the traditional pecan pie. With store bought crust and a short ingredient list, this tart comes together quite easily. However, it looks so fancy, your guests will definitely think you put way more effort into it than is actually required. To give it just a little more oomph, I tossed some dark chocolate shavings over the top and added a few toasted pecans, but that step was purely cosmetic. Definitely optional if you don't want to put in any extra effort, but I'm one who always likes to add a little flare when I can. You can pair it with some fresh brewed coffee or tea for an indulgent after dinner dessert that will surely have your family requesting it again at the next holiday gathering.
