Hey there, foodies! Today, I've got a real treat for you—a recipe that combines two of my absolute favorite flavors: salted caramel and chocolate. Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable experience as we dive into the world of heavenly Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart! 🍫🥧
Now, I stumbled upon this delightful recipe while browsing through TikTok, courtesy of the talented Freya. Trust me when I say, this dessert is going to be an instant hit with anyone lucky enough to get a slice. So, let's jump right in and learn how to create this divine masterpiece.
Here's what you'll need for the tart:
Ingredients:
- 200 grams of digestive biscuits (or any other plain, crunchy biscuits you prefer)
- 100 grams of unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams of dark chocolate, chopped
- 150 milliliters of heavy cream
- A pinch of sea salt flakes
For the salted caramel sauce:
- 150 grams of granulated sugar
- 80 grams of unsalted butter, cubed
- 120 milliliters of heavy cream
- A pinch of sea salt flakes
Let's get started!
Step 1: Crush those biscuits!
Take your biscuits and crush them into fine crumbs. You can either use a food processor or simply put them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. We want them to be the texture of sand, so keep going until you achieve that.
Step 2: Mix in the melted butter.
Pour the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs and give it a good stir until all the crumbs are evenly coated. The butter acts as a binder, helping the crust hold its shape. Press this mixture into the base of a tart tin, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly. Pop it in the fridge to chill while we move on to the next step.
Step 3: Create the chocolate filling.
Place your chopped dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute or two. Then, gently stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Pour it in!
Retrieve your tart tin from the fridge and pour the luscious chocolate filling into the biscuit crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula, making it as level as possible. Then, return the tart to the fridge and allow it to set for at least two hours. Patience is a virtue, my friends!
Step 5: Let's make some caramel magic.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Keep an eye on it, folks! Once the sugar has melted and turned into a beautiful golden caramel color, add the butter and stir until fully melted and incorporated. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. Be careful as the mixture might bubble vigorously. Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt flakes and stir well.
Step 6: The grand finale!
Take your tart out of the fridge and generously drizzle the salted caramel sauce all over the chocolate filling. You can get creative with the patterns if you'd like—go crazy! Finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes on top, adding a touch of visual appeal and that extra burst of flavor.
Voila! Your Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart is ready to dazzle your taste buds and impress your guests. Serve it chilled and be prepared for a standing ovation at the dinner table. This is a dessert that will leave everyone craving for more!
So, dear food enthusiasts, grab your aprons and embark on this delightful journey of flavors. Remember, this recipe is all about indulgence and savoring the sweet moments in life. Until next time, happy baking!
