This will make six 4-1/2-inch tarts, you can double the recipe if desired but make two separate pasty and filling recipes, do not double the recipe into one, or it can be made in a 9-inch tart pan fitted with the pastry crust. This makes a great dessert to a holiday dinner! If desired you can omit the bourbon. Ingredients:
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
3 large eggs |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed |
