Espresso enhances and intensifies the dark chocolate flavor of my truffe tart. I make the crust with toasted walnuts and dust the cooled dessert with baking cocoa before serving. —Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Ingredients

1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup walnut halves, toasted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
FILLING:
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1-1/4 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Additional baking cocoa

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Place confectioners' sugar and walnuts in a food processor; pulse until walnuts are finely chopped. Add flour, cocoa and salt; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press dough onto bottom and up sides of a greased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Bake 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for filling, in a double boiler or metal bowl over hot water, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in cream and espresso powder. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla.
Pour filling into warm crust. Bake 20-25 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with cocoa before serving.
