Ingredients
Biscoff Cookie Crust
- 32 Biscoff cookies 8.78 oz package
- 5 tbsp butter melted
Pecan Tart
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsulfured molasses
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 medium orange zested
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Start by crushing the 32 Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor or zip top bag using a rolling pin. Mix with 5 tbsp butter until the texture feels like wet sand. Press the crumbs into a tart pan with removable bottom and push up the sides. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Prebake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
- Increase oven to 375ºF.
- In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, melted 3 tbsp butter, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, 1 tsp kosher salt, and zest of 1 medium orange in a bowl until smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans. Pour the mixture into the prebaked crust and spread evenly. Arrange 1 cup pecan halves on top outer edge in a circular pattern.
- Bake until the filling is set at the edges and slightly wobbly in the center, about 45 minutes. Let the tart cool on a rack. Use a clean knife to get clean pieces.
- Serve at room temperature. Add whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
