Chocolate-Maple Filling

Begin by melting the syrups, butter, salt, vanilla, and rum together in a saucepan. Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. If needed, use an immersion blender to fully homogenize the sauce.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until combined. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the warm chocolate sauce, stirring well. Set aside. At this point, nuts can be folded into the filling or sprinkled into the frozen tart shell.

Assembly

Scatter the nuts in the frozen tart shell, then pour in the filling.

Baking

Preheat a convection oven to 160°C (330°F). Bake the pie for 40–45 minutes, until the filling is set. Let it cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Storage

This pie is best served at room temperature and eaten the next day. It can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
