I love this tart shell recipe, so I want to try something new and fill it with a more traditional chocolate ganache. But the ganache that I want to fill it with required 20-25 minutes of baking at 350F. The pie recipe that I am taking the ganache out of is something like this: Line the tart shell with pie dough, keep in freezer while making ganache. Fill it with ganache, top with pecan halves. Bake for 20 minutes at 350F, 5 more minutes with foil over the pecans. The ganache is made with bittersweet chocolate, butter, white sugar, vanilla extract, egg/egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt. Finally, my question is... King Arthur's recipe for chocolate mousse tart requires prebaking the crust and filling it with mousse. If I were to fill it with the ganache instead, should I prebake the crust first? Should I prebake for about 10 minutes, fill it, then bake for more? Should I just fill it into an unbaked crust? Help! :D
