    Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart

    Salted Caramel & Chocolate Tart
    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    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!

    How to make Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart...

    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 poured the caramel sauce 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.

    What caramel sauce should I use?

    My favourite caramel sauce to use is my Homemade Caramel Sauce, it's rich, smooth and absolutely divine! You can also easily add salt to it to make it into a salted caramel sauce. If you don't want to make your own, it's quite easy nowadays to find a good quality ready made caramel (or salted caramel) sauce in the shops or online. I have used Tesco's Finest, Bonn Maman and Carnation Caramel in the past with great results.

    Salted Caramel & Chocolate Tart

    I topped the Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart with some whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings. This Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart would make such a fabulous dinner party dessert! It's so decadent and delicious!

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4
    • To make the base use a food processor to whizz up the digestive biscuits into crumbs, or you can put them in a bowl and bash them with a rolling pin

    • Bake the biscuit base for 10 minutes, take out and set aside to cool
    • Mix the salt into the caramel (if it's not already a salted caramel sauce) and pour into the biscuit base
    • To make the ganache put the double cream, dark chocolate and butter into a pan and melt together on a low heat until it becomes a rich glossy chocolate sauce
    • Pour the chocolate sauce into the biscuit base over the caramel, put the tart in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set
    • When ready to serve, whip up the double cream decoration and spoon onto the tart. Then use a potato peeler to grate dark chocolate shavings over the top
    • Serve immediately. Store leftovers in the fridge and eat within 2 days
