Mocha Tart

This recipe will impress everyone! Beware, it has caffeine content!
My favorite food magazine for years was Family Circle. This is one of the gems I collected from there. Perfect for grown-up events.

1 ready-made pie crust
2/3 cup semisweet choc chips
1 cup rough chopped walnuts
3 Tbl butter
3 Tbl instant espresso powder
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped cream (recipe can be found on my other recipes)


  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fit pie crust into a 9 in removable-bottom tart pan.
  • Sprinkle chocolate and walnuts evenly over crust. Set aside.
  • Microwave butter in large glass bowl 40 or until melted. 
  • Whisk in espresso powder.
  • Beat in brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Pour into crust.
  • Bake in lower third of oven for 35-40 min. Cool on rack to room temp. Remove outer rim and garnish with whipped cream before serving.
