Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

Salted Caramel & Chocolate Tart

Caramel and chocolate has to be one of the most indulgent combinations when it comes to desserts. I could never resist any dessert involving both of them! This Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart has a rich dark chocolate ganache filling, with a hidden layer of salted caramel underneath. I did think about doing it with a pastry base to begin with, but I have a baby now so time is not on my side, so a biscuit base it was! I do love a biscuit base and it paired so well with the caramel and chocolate filling. I’ve added a generous dollop of whipped cream for decoration too!

Jump straight to the recipe!

To make the base I used my food processor to whizz up the digestive biscuits into crumbs. I mixed them with the melted butter and pressed them into a loose bottomed tart tin. Then I baked it for 10 minutes.

I mixed the salt into the caramel sauce and poured it into the biscuit base.

To make the ganache I melted the cream, butter and dark chocolate together then poured it over the caramel layer. It went into the fridge to set.
