Praline Chocolate Galette + Bailey’s whipped cream

Ingredients

1 box (1 ½ cups) Molly and Me Praline Pecans or plain chopped pecans

4 ounces chopped dark chocolate 

1 egg

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons dark corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled slightly 

Crust:

1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1 tablespoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

4-5 tablespoons ice cold water

Bailey’s whipped cream:

1 pint heavy whipping cream 

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

2 tablespoons Bailey’s liquor

Egg wash:

1 egg, beaten

turbinado sugar 

Prep Time: 45 minutes | Cook Time: 25-30 minutes | Servings: 6-8

1. For crust- using a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter. Pulse until mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.

2. Pour into a very cold mixing bowl. (I place my bowl in freezer for 15 minutes before using) Add 4 tablespoons of ice cold water to mixture and mix with your hands. Working as quickly as you can. Add another tablespoon of water if it seems too dry. Knead dough until it comes together and is smooth. Form into a round ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

3. While dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 400. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out onto lightly floured surface. Roll out to about 10-12 inches in diameter.

4. Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the pecans and chopped chocolate into the center of the crust; leaving about an inch or so around the edge. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the pecans, pinching together any open areas.

5. Mix together the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, corn syrup and butter. Pour over top of the pecans.

6. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.

7. For the whipped cream- pour the cream, powdered sugar and bailey’s into chilled mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat with wire attachment on medium high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form. 

8. Top each slice with Bailey’s whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Enjoy y’all!
