Ruth’s Chris Chocolate Pecan Tart is a rich, gooey dessert with a flaky pie crust, toasted pecans, melted chocolate, and a glossy, sweet filling—bringing classic steakhouse indulgence straight to your home kitchen.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. Evenly spread the toasted pecans over the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and corn syrup until smooth.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and whisk until glossy and fully combined.
  5. Slowly pour the filling over the pecans and chocolate, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
  6. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the center is set but slightly soft.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the tart cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Chop pecans for a more even texture throughout the tart.
  • Add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the filling for extra richness.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a balanced dessert.
  • Let the tart cool completely before slicing for clean, firm portions.
