Ingredients

Crust:

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, diced, room temperature
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg

Filling:

10 ounces bittersweet (70% cocoa) chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Preparation

  1. For crust:

    Step 1
