Caramelized Walnut Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- While pulsing, gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool.
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream, butter, and salt. Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly coated.
- Pour the caramelized walnut mixture over the cooled tart crust, spreading it out evenly. Allow the caramel to set for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
