Bourbon-Pecan Tart with Chocolate Drizzle

Those who know Mrs. Yuppie know there are two things in this world that she can't live without (besides, of course, Mr. Yuppie): pecan and bourbons. These two ingredients are married deliciously together in Cooking Light's Bourbon-Pecan Tart with Chocolate Drizzle (Nov 2007).

This has been a favorite recipe of ours since we first tried it 2 years ago for a Christmas party. Now, we always keep the ingredients on hand in case of birthday lunches and special occasions. (Especially the bourbon, but then, we've always made sure to have that on hand!)

The real selling point is how easy it is to assemble: simply grease up a tart or pie pan, drape the pre-made pie crust over it and trim the edges, mix together the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate) and pour them into the crust.

The tart bakes for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. If you're so inclined, once it's cooled, you can drizzle melted chocolate over it, but that part is left to the most decadent eaters - the tart on its own is fantastic enough!

For its tried and true, sinfully delicious taste and ease of preparation, we hearby crown Bourbon-Pecan Tart with (or without!) Chocolate Drizzle a YTK Favorite. Happy no-fuss baking!
