Description
A decadent dessert featuring a crisp tart crust, a gooey salted caramel filling, and a rich chocolate ganache topping, finished with flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
- For the Tart Crust:
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon ice water
- For the Salted Caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Chocolate Ganache:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Mix flour and powdered sugar in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and ice water, mixing until dough forms.
- Press dough into tart pans and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake crusts for 15-20 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar, stirring until amber color forms. Carefully whisk in heavy cream (watch for bubbling). Add butter, stir until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and sea salt. Cool slightly.
- Heat cream until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and silky.
- Spoon cooled caramel into tart shells, filling halfway. Chill for 20-30 minutes until set.
- Pour chocolate ganache over the caramel layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the caramel is not too hot when pouring into the tart shells, as it might melt them.
- Refrigeration time is crucial for the layers to set properly.
- Flaky sea salt adds visual appeal and balances the sweetness of the dessert.
