Ingredients (12)

45g unsalted butter, softened
125g light brown sugar
150ml golden syrup
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g milk chocolate, melted
200g pecan nuts, chopped
Icing sugar, to dust

Pastry

250g plain flour
110g icing sugar, sifted
110g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 egg

Method

1.

To make pastry, place the flour and icing sugar in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds. Add butter and process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg and process until mixture forms a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2.

Once chilled, roll pastry out on a lightly floured workbench and use to line a 23cm fluted tart pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
3.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the pan with baking paper, fill with rice and blind-bake for 10 minutes.
4.

Place butter, sugar and golden syrup in a bowl and beat until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, chocolate and nuts. Pour into the pastry case and bake for 30-35 minutes. Set aside to cool. Dust with icing sugar and serve at room temperature with ice-cream or cream. Garnish with extra nuts, if desired.
