Ingredients
  • 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 9 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C). Butter and flour a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. 2
    In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  3. 3
    In the bowl of a food processor, combine the chopped bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate. Process until finely chopped, about 15 to 20 seconds.
  4. 4
    Add the hot butter-sugar mixture to the food processor and process for 15 seconds to melt and combine the chocolate.
  5. 5
    Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and process to combine, about 10 seconds.
  6. 6
    Add the flour, salt, chopped walnuts, and Grand Marnier. Pulse briefly about 10 times, just until the ingredients are mixed. Do not overmix.
  7. 7
    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared tart pan. Sprinkle the top evenly with chocolate chips.
  8. 8
    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out moist but not wet. Do not overbake.
  9. 9
    Remove the sides of the tart pan and cool the tart completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  10. 10
    Cut into wedges and serve.

Note

Storage: Store leftover tart in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Substitutions: If you do not have Grand Marnier, you can substitute with another orange liqueur like Cointreau, or use 1 tablespoon of fresh orange zest plus 1 tablespoon of water. You can also omit the liqueur entirely, though the flavor profile will be slightly less complex.

Tips: For a crispier edge, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before chopping and adding them to the batter. Ensure your chocolate is finely chopped for a smoother batter texture.

Serving Suggestion: This tart pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream, or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce.
