The creamy chocolate filling for this tart doesn’t call for any added sugar, resulting in a supremely rich but not-too-sweet treat.

This chocolate pie is named after its filling’s super-smooth texture. Pecans in the crust add some extra flavor and whipped cream balances the pie’s richness. Raw eggs contribute to the mousse filling’s characteristic texture, but should be avoided by pregnant women, babies, young children, or anyone whose health is compromised.
Pears and ground almonds add subtle flavor and texture to this sophisticated tart. The almonds help make the filling sturdy enough not to require a crust, and to support the pear slices resting on top. Brush the pears with warm apple jelly to give them a shiny glaze.
Chocolate shows up in three guises throughout this dressed-up pumpkin pie. A layer of bittersweet chocolate coats the cinnamon-spiced graham-cracker crust, semisweet chocolate adds depth and smoothness to the pumpkin custard filling, and melted milk chocolate is drizzled over the top just before serving. Make this pie a day ahead (minus the milk chocolate topping) to give the filling time to set in the refrigerator.
