Ingredients
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 tbsp cold unsalted butter
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp cold water
6 oz bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate,
coarsely chopped
2 egg whites, room temperature
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
Chocolate shavings, optional
Directions
1. To make crust:
In a bowl, thoroughly mix flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut butter in chunks and add to bowl. With two knives or pastry blender cut butter into flour, tossing to coat with flour until largest pieces are size of pine nuts and remaining resemble coarse bread crumbs. As you work, scrape flour up from bottom of bowl and scrape butter from knives or pastry blender. Do not let butter melt or blend completely into flour. Drizzle 1 1/2 tbsp cold water over flour mixture while tossing and mixing, until just moist enough to hold together when pressed. Add remaining water if needed. Turn out on plastic wrap. Gather into flank disk, pressing in any loose pieces. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
2. Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 400 F.
Let dough stand 30 minutes at room temperature or until pliable enough to roll without cracking. On lightly floured surface roll dough to a 14 by 9 inch oval, about 1/8 inch thick, rotating and dusting with flour to prevent sticking. Brush excess flour from dough; fold in half to transfer to a piece of parchment slightly larger than dough. Unfold dough. Loosely fold and roll edge without pressing to form rimmed crust. Place parchment with pastry on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown (crust edge will be a little raw inside).
3. Meanwhile for filling; melt chocolate in microwave on 50% power, (medium), about 2 minutes. Stir frequently until chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove from microwave. Stir until melted; set aside.
4. In a bowl beat egg whites with cream of tartar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and 1/8 tsp salt. Beat until whites are stiff but not dry. Pour pecans and melted chocolate over whites; fold with spatula until batter is uniform color.
5. Remove crust from oven. Reduce oven to 350 F.
Dollop filling on crust. Spread to 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake 10 minutes or until surface looks dry and slightly cracked (fudgy inside). Cool on baking sheet on rack. Serve warm or cool. Cover and refrigerate after 2 hours or up to 24 hours. To serve sprinkle with pine nuts and chocolate shavings.
