Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

This salted caramel chocolate tart is divine.

The combination of caramel and chocolate is something quite magical. And just to make it a tad bit more irresistible I like to sprinkle a bit of flaky salt on top.

Note: Dulce de leche is a combination of milk and sugar that has been slowly cooked until the sugars caramelize, producing a thick, creamy, intensely flavored spread.

Cut up your butter into cubes before you add it to the mixture:

The mixture will start to crumble and stick together. Just scape it off the paddle and make a round ball like this and cover in parchment to set in the fridge for 30 min:

After 30 minutes place the ball in a 9 inch tart pan to flatten and shape by pinching and pulling it up to mold it around the tart pan:

    Hi..this looks absolutely amazing and easy to make. I was wondering if we could use condensed milk instead of Dulce de Leche? And will it be to sweet if we do so because I don’t know what Dulce de Leche tastes like.
    I am surely be making this soon….

      Hi Wajeeha, Use dulce de leche. It’s packaged in cans and you can usually find it in the baking isle of a grocery store. Dulce de leche isn’t that sweet. I like to add a few teaspoons of vanilla extract to the dulce de leche before I layer it into the tart.

    Hi…this looks delectable. Do I need to put it in the refrigerator before slicing. Will the filling run when sliced?

    Thanks.

      Hi Nan, to serve the same day refrigerate for at least 1 hour for it to set. If you do this it will not run when it is sliced.
