Tart Crust
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
8 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Filling and Topping
3 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (I used Lindt)
2 eggs, separated
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
1 egg white
1/2 cup powdered sugar

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0 F. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
2
In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, salt, and butter until the butter is reduced to pea-sized pieces. Add creme fraiche and egg yolk and pulse until incorporated. Put dough on a cool surface and flatten with the heel of your hand. Form into a ball. The dough will be crumbly. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic wrap and put in buttered pan. Bake for 5 minutes.
4
For the filling, melt chocolate in double boiler, then cool a bit. Beat the 2 egg yolks with the sugar until fluffy and light. Stir into the chocolate. Add 1/2 cup walnuts and the flour. In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg whites until stiff. Gently fold the whites into the chocolate. Pour filling into the pie shell. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 250u00b0 F.
5
For the topping, beat 1 egg white until stiff, and then beat in 1/2 cup powered sugar. Fold in 1/2 cup finely-chopped walnuts and gently put on top of pie. Bake at reduced heat for 10 minutes, or more if needed. Cool and sprinkle with powered sugar.
