Chocolate and pecan pie are two desserts that are delicious on their own; put them together and, suddenly, they’re inseparable. Sure chocolate pecan pie is amazing. Definitely a delicious twist on a favorite Thanksgiving dessert, but what if instead of twisting that, you flipped it. Lia does just that on Swirling Notions.

When she isn’t putting a book together, she’s creating sweets that will definitely have your head spinning and swirling. Her Chocolate Pecan Tart with Caramel Sabayon is a perfect example of a unique and mesmerizing dessert. Unlike chocolate pecan pies, the pecans in this dessert are all in the crust. Completely homemade, it consists of pecans, butter, brown sugar, flour, and a few sprinkles of nutmeg thrown in to give taste tester’s taste buds a pleasant surprise.

Bite into Lia’s tart, and you’ll want to take another, and another…and you’ll love the secret ingredient, cognac, just when you thought the chocolate filling couldn’t get any better :). So the next time you’re tempted to stop by the bakery and pick up a pie, consider making Lia’s Chocolate Pecan Tart with Caramel Sabayon and your home will be smelling like a bakery in no time.
