 Categories: Pies, Chocolate
      Yield: 1 servings
 
           Premade pastry crust
           Filling:
    1/2 c  Salted butter
      6 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
      2 lg Eggs
      1 c  Dark brown sugar
    1/2 c  Dark corn syrup
      2 ts Vanilla extract
  1 1/2 c  Chopped walnuts
           Topping:
     24    Walnut halves
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
    1/4 c  White sugar
      1 ts Almond extract
 
    Filling:  In saucepan combine butter and chocolate and
  stir over low heat.  Pour into bowl and let cool 5 minutes.
   Using an electric mixer, beat eggs into chocolate.  Add
  sugar, corn syrup and vanilla and blend until smooth.  Fold
  in walnuts.
    To assemble:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Roll out
  dough on floured board to 1/8 inch thickness.  Cut dough in
  circles to fit 2 1/2 inch tartlet pans, cut a bit larger
  than pans are. Repeat with remaining dough.  Lay dough in
  pans and press firmly.  Fill pans 2/3 full of filling and
  place on baking sheet to catch any overspill.  Bake 30
  minutes or until filling is set.  While tartlets are still
  warm, place one walnut half in center of each.
    Topping:  In chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat
  cream, sugar and almond extract, until stiff peaks form.
  Do not overbeat.  Put whipped topping in pastry bag and
  using a star tip, pipe decorative topping onto each
  tartlet.   THE DESSERT SHOW
