Chewy Chess Tart
- CRUST:
- 1 & 1/4 cups finely ground vanilla wafer cookies (about 45 cookies)
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- FILLING:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon fine cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- CRUST:
- Mix vanilla wafer crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt until combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Refrigerate about 15 minutes, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes, or until crust is golden. Let cool slightly.
- FILLING:
- Reduce oven temperature to 325u0b0.
- Mix both sugars, cornmeal, and salt. Break apart any clumps. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk in butter until smooth. Pour filling into tart shell.
- Bake 35-40 minutes, or until top is dark golden brown and the edge is set but the center is still just a bit wobbly.
- Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Refrigerate until completely cooled, 2 hours up to 1 day. Unmold and serve.
