Date Nut Tart

Date Nut Tart Recipe

Have some low-fat frozen yogurt on hand to top off this sweet, irresistible dessert, a new take on old-fashioned pecan pie.


Ingredients
1 (9-inch) pie crust
1½ cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped pitted dates
(do not use sweetened dates)
2/3 cup dark corn syrup
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, at room temperature
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Place pie crust in a 9-inch tart pan (we used a 13-by-3½-inch pan). Place nuts and dates in crust.
3. Combine corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl; whisk well. Pour over dates.
4. Bake about 50 minutes, until puffed and brown. Cool on a wire rack at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serves 12.
