Chocolate Caramel Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Pulse to mix. Add 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is set. Let it cool completely.
- In a saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns amber in color. Add 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, stirring until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the caramel into the cooled tart crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
