Chocolate Walnut Tart
A riff on the classic pecan pie, this dessert is rich, chocolaty, and a little fancier with its freestanding fluted sides. Of course, you can use a 9-inch pie plate if you don't have a tart pan with a removable bottom.

I don't know what I did wrong but the filling just went into the garbage can. After cooling to room temperature, I couldn't get the eggs to emulsify, even after trying it in the food processor.
I expected more. I didn't find anything wrong with it other than being ordinary. I also made this as one of my Thanksgiving desserts, and was glad I had two others to offer. I followed the recipe exactly. It was dense, which I expected, but there was no wow! it was chocolate but with no intensity. I served homemade whipped cream with it, and that helped but not much. Perhaps a tsp of instant expresso coffee might energize it.
A friend who doesn't care for dessert has requested I make this again. I added instant espresso powder, which really boosted the chocolate flavor. I going to use macadamia nuts next time.
This was delicious. My whole family thought it was very chocolaty.
Made this as a Christmas dessert and it was a big hit. I used a pie plate since I don't have a tart pan, and it still came out very good. As others have said, the chocolate taste is more mild than intense. Next time I may add a tablespoon or two of espresso or creme de cacao to intensify the flavor.
Found this very easy to make. I used 3 unsweetened and one semi-sweet square and regular corn syrup as that's what I had on hand. Also used pecans as others had. Would be good served with a bit of ice cream as the dessert is dense like a brownie. A definite make again.
I made this with a party following the recipe except substituting pecans for walnuts. It was wonderful, there was none left to take home and everyone loved it. I'll definitely make this again!
This has potential with a little tweaking. I followed the recipe exactly. The end result was a little under-whelming. As other have said, it isn't very chocolatey. It was very mild. I will make this again but next time I am going to mix milk chocolate with the bittersweet and take another poster's suggestion of using hazelnuts instead of walnuts. The recipe is a good start but it needs a little personal touch.
I added a little more chocolate than the recipe called for after reading the reviews, but it turned out a little stiff. Next time I'll follow the directions. It was tasty though!
Delicious... tasted like a brownie. Very easy to make....I added a little more chocolate than the recipe called for.
This turned out great - though I wasn't sure... I substituted corn starch for flour to make gluten-free, and the mixture was REALLY stiff when it cooled. (not sure if my corn syrup was old or because of corn starch) I had to work to get the eggs mixed in, and added a bit of milk. Was fine once baked - tasted like a rich brownie, but not too sweet. Very pretty too.
This dish turned out great--the flavors were great, and it was rich without being over the top. It was very easy to make. I just used a regular pie plate, and it worked well.
This was good, and gets points for being really easy. It is definitely important to use good quality chocolate (nothing too sweet). I might add more chocolate next time.
This recipe doesn't have enough chocolate to taste like a chocolate tart and it just tasted sweet. I won't make it again.
I decided on this recipe after struggling to find a recent CL dessert recipe that had good ratings. The consistency of the tart was fudgy, paired with the crunch of the nuts. I think next time I will try hazelnuts. The cook time was EXACT! Would be great served with a little whipped cream. Will definitely make again, maybe in a tartlet pan for a party.
