Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted optional)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the greased tart pan evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes until set but soft.
- In another bowl, mix melted chocolate with remaining sugar, vanilla extract, cranberries, and pecans until well combined.
- Pour the filling into the baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow cooling before slicing.
