Grand Prize Winner 2007 Crisco® Country Favorites Cook-Off. Preparation time includes cooling and chilling times. Ingredients:
3/4 cup crisco butter shortening, chilled |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 3/4 cups pillsbury best all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided |
1 tablespoon crisco butter shortening |
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed |
4 teaspoons folgers instant coffee crystals |
1 tablespoon cocoa powder |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
3/4 cup toffee pieces, divided |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F Spray 9-inch round fluted tart pan with removable bottom with no-stick cooking spray.
2. Combine shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Sift flour into small bowl; add to shortening mixture. Mix on low speed until mixed.
3. Transfer to lightly floured surface; shape into disk. Press onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan (make sure the finished edge is flat). Chill until firm.
4. Place a square of aluminum foil over crust; fill shell with 2 cups dried beans or rice to keep crust flat. Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans; bake about 20 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool.
5. Heat 3/4 cup cream and 1 tablespoon shortening in microwave in medium bowl until boiling (about 90 seconds). Add chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Set aside.
6. Reserve 1/2 cup chocolate mixture. Pour remainder into cooled crust. Refrigerate 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.
7. Add remaining 1/2 cup cream, 1 cup whipped topping, coffee crystals, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Beat on high 2 minutes (or until coffee has dissolved), scraping down sides occasionally.
8. Stir in 1/2 cup toffee bits. Spread over chocolate layer. Refrigerate 2 hours (or overnight, if desired). Spread remaining whipped topping over coffee layer; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits.
9. Cut tart into 8 slices; place slices on serving plates. Place remaining chocolate mixture in small resealable plastic food storage bag. Microwave until warm. Cut small corner off bag; squeeze to drizzle over tart slices; serve.
