Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling:
1 cup sugar (preferably baker's sugar or other superfine sugar)
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/4 cups (about 9 ounces) walnuts, toasted, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter to processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse meal forms. Add 4 tablespoons ice water. Blend until dough just begins to come together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough; flatten into disk. Wrap; chill at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of overhang. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork; chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 20 minutes longer. Cool completely.
  • For filling:
  • Stir 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat. Bring to boil, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Boil without stirring until deep amber color, swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; add cream (mixture will bubble up). Return pan to low heat; whisk caramel until smooth. Add butter, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add all chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in nuts. Spread filling in crust. Chill tart until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve with ice cream.

Add butter; using on/off turns, cut in until coarse meal forms. With machine running, slowly add egg. Blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.

Whisk in butter and cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). When bubbling subsides, whisk in crème fraîche. Cool caramel until beginning to thicken. Stir in walnuts. Pour caramel into prepared crust. Let stand 15 minutes to spread.
  • For chocolate glaze:
  • Bring cream to boil in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Cool 5 minutes.

Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TART



Chocolate Caramel Tart image

It is hard to believe in this day and age - when salted caramel ice cream is almost as ubiquitous as vanilla - that desserts in which salt plays a starring role was once a newfangled concept. This recipe, an adaptation of one attributed to the pastry chef Claudia Fleming, came to The Times in a 2000 article by Amanda Hesser about the development of that very trend, and it is a perfect example of how it's done right. Layers of silky caramel and dark chocolate ganache topped with a sprinkling of crunchy, snow-white fleur de sel make this an unforgettable combination of flavors and textures.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10-inch tart (12 to 16 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 large egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons creme fraiche (available at specialty food markets)
PInch of salt
3 1/2 ounces extra-bittersweet chocolate (70 to 85%), chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Prepare chocolate dough: In bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Beat until smooth. Add egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until blended.
  • Sift flour into dough mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan. (You can use a 9-inch pan, but the crust will be thicker and the caramel may take longer to set in step 4.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line tart with foil, and fill with dried beans, rice or pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights, and bake until pastry is dry and set, another 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Prepare caramel filling: In a large saucepan, bring sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil. Stir or swirl the pan occasionally, until mixture is a medium amber color, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Caramel will continue to cook and darken off of the heat. Carefully but quickly whisk in the butter, cream, creme fraiche and salt until smooth (mixture will bubble up). Pour hot caramel into tart, and allow to cool and set, at least 1 hour.
  • Prepare chocolate glaze: Place chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Pour hot cream over chocolate and whisk until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Pour glaze over tart, tilting tart for even coverage. Refrigerate until tart is set, at least one hour, then sprinkle with a few granules of fleur de sel. Keep refrigerated until serving.

WALNUT CARAMEL TART



Walnut caramel tart image

Combine crunchy nuts with caramel flavours in this open shortcrust pastry pie with a creamy, sticky filling

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

175g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
85g butter , cut into small cubes
50g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
200g caster sugar
100g butter , cut into small pieces
200ml whipping or double cream
200g shelled walnut half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar, and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 tbsp cold water, and pulse to make a firm dough.
  • Have ready a 24cm tart tin. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 5cm larger than your tin. Lift onto the tin with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Do not trim the pastry. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking parchment and baking beans. Chill for 10 mins. Blindbake for 10 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
  • To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel colour. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
  • Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, levelling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the filling is bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before removing carefully from the tin. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help ensure that your crust and filling are smooth and well-combined.
  • Blind-bake your crust: This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy from the filling.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: It should be a deep golden brown color, but not so dark that it's bitter.
  • Let the tart cool completely before glazing it: This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the tart: This will help to prevent the crust from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This caramel walnut tart with chocolate glaze is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and gooey caramel filling is perfectly complemented by the crunchy walnuts and the rich chocolate glaze. This tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
