Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the crust with a fork and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the crust is chilling.
-
Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
-
Remove the parchment paper and weights, then return the crust to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the bottom is cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
-
Add the pecan halves and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture will thicken slightly.
-
Pour the pecan praline filling into the pre-baked tart crust, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set and the edges are bubbly.
-
Allow the Pecan Praline Tart to cool in the tart pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it.
-
Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, garnished with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
