Hi Jennie,
The first recipe below is the only thing I can find of that sort.
Phaed
Chocolate Walnut Pastry Roll
1/2 package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet) (can find these with the frozen stuff)
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp water
4 squares Semi Sweet Chocolate
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Thaw Pastry at room temp 30 min. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix egg
and water in small bowl.
Microwave chocolate, milk and butter in large bowl on HIGH 1 1/2
to 2 min or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring halfway thru
heating time. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Unfold pastry sheet on lightly floured surface. Roll into 16" x
12" rectangle. Spread chocolate mixture on pastry within 1 1/2" of
edges. Sprinkle walnuts over chocolate. Starting at short side,
roll up jelly roll style. Place seam side down on ungreased cookie
sheet. Tuck ends under to seat. Brush with egg mixture.
Bake 35 min or until golden. Cool 30 min on cookie sheet or wire
rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve
warm. Serves 8.
----------------------------
Chocolate Walnut Tart
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
4 eggs
1-1/4 cups of sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cups coarsely chopped toasted walnuts
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Fudge ice cream topping (optional)
For the crust: Place steel blade in food processor bowl. Add the 2-1/4 cups
flour, the 3/4 cup butter and salt. Cover, process with on/off turns till
most of mixture resembles cornmeal, but with a few larger pieces. With
processor running, quickly add 6 tablespoons water through the feed tube.
Stop processor when all the water is added and scrape down sides of
processor bowl. Process with 2 on/off turns (mixture may not be all
moistened and will resemble coarse crumbs). Remove the dough from the food
processor bowl; shape into a ball, kneading with hands as necessary. (Or in
a medium bowl, combine water and salt; cut in 3/4 cup butter using pastry
blender. Make a well in center; add 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water; 1
tablespoon at a time. Toss mixture with a fork to moisten after each
addition. Shape dough into a ball.)
Use your hands to flatten the dough into a disk. Cover the disk with plastic
wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or till the dough is easy to handle.
Unwrap dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough from center to
edges to form a 15-inch circle. Fold the pastry into quarters and transfer
the pastry to a 10-inch round springform cake pan. Unfold the pastry into
the pan, being careful not to stretch pastry. Gently, press pastry 2 inches
up the sides of the springform pan or trim the edges flush with the top of
the cake pan.
Generously prick bottom and sides of pastry in pan with a fork. Line pastry
with a double thickness of regular foil or one layer of heavy-duty foil.
Bake in a 450º oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 4 to 5 minutes more or
till set and dry. Set aside. Reduce oven to 350º.
For filling: In large mixing bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high 5
minutes or till thick. Gradually add sugar; mix well till light and fluffy.
Add the 3 tablespoons melted butter and vanilla; mix well. Add the 3/4 cup
flour; mix till just combined, scraping sides of bowl. Stir in nuts and
chocolate pieces.
Pour the filling into the partially baked pastry shell. Bake in a 350º oven
for 45 minutes till golden brown. Cool 1-1/2 hours on a wire rack. Remove
sides of springform pan, then invert onto the cake plate. Serve with ice
cream and fudge sauce, if you like. Top of cake will crack when cut.
Serves 12 to 16.
