Preparation time: 45 min   Baking time: 15 min  
Yield: 16 servings 

Crust Ingredients:

1 3/4   cups very finely chopped pecans
2/3   cup sugar
1/4   cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted

Filling Ingredients:

1   pint (2 cups) whipping cream
16   ounces high quality real semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped*

Caramel Sauce Ingredients:

3/4   cup sugar
3/4   cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2   cup light corn syrup
1/3   cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
2/3   cup whipping cream

Garnish Ingredients:

1 1/3   cups whipping cream


Heat oven to 350°F. Stir together all crust ingredients in medium bowl. Firmly press on bottom and up sides of 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Place tart pan onto baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, heat 2 cups whipping cream in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until mixture just comes to a boil (5 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until completely melted (2 to 3 minutes). Pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate until set (at least 2 hours).

Twenty minutes before serving, combine all caramel sauce ingredients except 2/3 cup whipping cream in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes). Cool 5 minutes; stir in 2/3 cup whipping cream.

Just before serving, beat 1 1/3 cups whipping cream in small bowl at high speed, scraping bowl often, until stiff peaks form. Garnish torte with whipped cream. Serve with warm caramel sauce.

*Substitute 16 ounces (2 2/3 cups) real semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Recipe Tip
Crust, filling and caramel sauce can be prepared 1 day before serving. Reheat caramel sauce just before serving.
