SALTED CARAMEL TART



Salted Caramel Tart image

This is made using the Australian way of making creamy caramel using condensed milk. While most recipes use golden syrup to get the caramel flavour, I find it works better to use a simple caramel - better flavour and the caramel is creamier. You don't need a candy thermometer, and the caramel sets perfectly so it is beautifully soft and doesn't run everywhere when you cut it. The topping is a chocolate ganache that is soft and melds into the caramel with every bite. This is decadent and luxurious, yet straight forward to make. Great show off dessert!!!

Number Of Ingredients 9

225 g / 8 oz plain sweet biscuits, about 2 cups (packed) crushed
150 g / 5 oz unsalted butter (, melted (Note 1 for Digestives))
100 g / 7 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup / 200g (packed) brown sugar
2 cans sweetened condensed milk (395g / 14oz each)
1 3/4 tsp salt ((2 ½ - 3 tsp salt flakes))
1/3 cup heavy/thickened cream
150 g / 5 oz dark chocolate melts / chips
Sea salt flakes, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160C/320F. Grease and line the base only of a 23cm / 9" tart tin with a loose base. (Or a springform pan of a similar size)
  • Roughly break up biscuits and place in a food processor, then whizz until fine crumbs form. Or do this step with a ziplock bag and rolling pin.
  • Pour crumbs into a bowl, add melted butter, mix until it looks like wet sand and no dry crumbs remain. Pour into tin, then press firmly into base and sides - use something flat like a cup to assist (refer to video).

EASY CORNFLAKE TART



Easy cornflake tart image

Make this cornflake cake for a fabulously easy family dessert that uses simple ingredients. With a pastry case and jam base, it's delicious served with custard

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 8

320g ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
plain flour, to dust
50g butter
125g golden syrup
25g light brown soft sugar
100g cornflakes
125g strawberry or raspberry jam
custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unroll the pastry and briefly roll out on a lightly floured work surface until it's large enough to fit a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Use the rolling pin to lift the pastry over the tin, then press into the corners and sides so the excess pastry hangs over the rim. Trim this away, leaving just a small amount of excess hanging over the rim.
  • Line the pastry with baking parchment and fill with baking beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans, then bake for another 5-10 mins until just golden. Remove from the oven and trim any excess pastry from the edges using a serrated knife.
  • Heat the butter, syrup and sugar in a small pan with a pinch of salt, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Fold in the cornflakes to coat in the butter mixture.
  • Spoon the jam into the cooked pastry base, then level the surface. Tip the cornflake mixture over the jam and gently press down until all of the jam is covered with a layer of the mixture. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 5 mins until the cornflakes are golden and toasted. Leave to cool until just warm before slicing and serving with custard.

HOMEMADE SALTED CARAMEL RECIPE



Homemade Salted Caramel Recipe image

Made from only 4 simple ingredients, this homemade caramel is salty, sweet, and irresistibly buttery. No candy thermometer required and the possibilities for serving are endless. (Though just a spoon is acceptable!) Use caution as the cooking caramel may splatter. Stand back and wear kitchen gloves if desired. Review recipe notes prior to beginning.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (make sure it's labeled "pure cane")*
6 Tablespoons (90g) salted butter, room temperature cut up into 6 pieces
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat granulated sugar in a medium heavy-duty saucepan (avoid using non-stick) over medium heat, stirring constantly with a high heat resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn it.
  • Once sugar is completely melted, immediately stir in the butter until melted and combined. Be careful in this step because the caramel will bubble rapidly when the butter is added. If you notice the butter separating or if the sugar clumps up, remove from heat and vigorously whisk to combine it again. (If you're nervous for splatter, wear kitchen gloves. Keep whisking until it comes back together, even if it takes 3-4 minutes. It will eventually- just keep whisking. Return to heat when it's combined again.)
  • After the butter has melted and combined with the caramelized sugar, stir constantly as you very slowly pour in the heavy cream. Since the heavy cream is colder than the hot caramel, the mixture will rapidly bubble when added. After all the heavy cream has been added, stop stirring and allow to boil for 1 minute. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the salt. Allow to slightly cool down before using. Caramel thickens as it cools.
  • Cover tightly and store for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Caramel solidifies in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove to desired consistency. See "What is the Texture of This Salted Caramel?" above.

MACADAMIA SALTED CARAMEL TART



Macadamia Salted Caramel Tart image

This Macadamia Salted Caramel Tart recipe is a showstopper. A real salted caramel tart filling wrapped around macadamia nuts and topped with a caramelised white chocolate ganache

Provided by Marie Roffey

Categories     Dessert     Sweets

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

195 g (1 1/2 cups / 6.9oz) plain (all purp) flour
2 tablespoons icing (powdered / confectioners) sugar ((notes))
150 g (1 1/3 / 5.3oz) sticks unsalted butter, cubed & cold
3-4 tablespoons iced water ((notes))
1 1/2 cups caster (superfine) sugar
2 tablespoons of water
113 g (1 stick / 1⁄2 cup0 unsalted butter, chopped into cubes
1/2 cup thickened (heavy) cream
1 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
200 g macadamias, chopped in half
200 g caramelised white chocolate
2/3 cup cream

Steps:

  • Place the butter, icing sugar and flour in a food processor and pulse a few times until it looks like wet sand. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to just pulse between each addition until the mixture just starts clumping together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and just pull it together with your hands into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ½ an hour.
  • Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 3-4 mm thick. Carefully lift the pastry into a non stick 9 inch round fluted tart tin with removeable base. Nudge and work the pastry into the corners and up the sides. Use kitchen scissors to trim off all but 1 cm of pastry dough above the top edge of the tin. Dock the base (poke holes all over with a fork) then chill in the freezer for 15 mins.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Place the tart tin on top of a baking tray (this makes it easier to move in and out of the oven). Line the tart shell with baking paper and fill with pie weights.
  • Bake for 20 minutes before removing the pie weights and baking paper. Bake for a further 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and use a sharp knife to run along the top edge of the tin to cut off the excess. Return it to the oven and bake for a final 10-15 minutes until golden all over. Brush the base with the egg white and bake for a further 2 minutes.
  • Place the sugar and water in a heavy based saucepan over low heat and stir it gently with a metal spoon as the sugar starts to clump. You don't need to stir constantly but you need to be close by and stirring a few times each minute and use the back of the spoon to break up any very large clumps. This is very important so the sugar doesn't burn and dissolves evenly. It will take around 20 minutes.
  • Once the sugar is all dissolved, turn the heat up to medium and let it come to a simmer. The caramel should be amber gold in colour.
  • Work quickly but carefully as it can darken very quickly now. Add the butter. Whisk it in quickly until fully combined. Now add the cream and salt (be careful as it may splatter and bubble up) and do the same until all mixed through. By now the caramel should be a deep golden brown colour - if not allow it simmer, stirring regularly, until it is. Allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Scatter the macadamias over the tart base, then pour the caramel all over. Use a spatula to nudge the caramel and macadamias around so you have an even spread of both. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Break up the caramelised white chocolate into small chunks and set aside in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan and as soon as bubble start to appear at the edge, pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 3 minutes before stirring to a smooth ganache, then leave to firm up in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  • Spread the ganache over the tart, sprinkle with some extra sea salt flakes and serve.

SALTED CARAMEL TART RECIPE



Salted caramel tart recipe image

Hannah Catley shares her sensational salted caramel tart recipe from a new fundraising cookbook for mental health, 'From Beder's Kitchen'.

Provided by Hannah Catley

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g caster sugar
300g butter
2 eggs, beaten
500g flour
4g salt
500g double cream
140g caster sugar
135g egg yolks
35g muscovado sugar
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Beat the sugar and butter together in a stand mixer, slowly pour in the eggs, then gradually add the flour and salt in three parts.
  • Work everything together until the mixture forms a soft dough, then cover and chill your pastry in the fridge overnight.
  • Roll out the chilled pastry, line your tart tin with it, trimming off any overhang, then rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Blind bake the tart case at 180°c for around 30 minutes, checking now and then to make sure it's on the right track. The pastry should be golden and firm when done. I would recommend using a 28cm (11 inch) tart tin here, but you could easily adapt the recipe to fit different sized tins.
  • Warm the double cream over a gentle heat.
  • Meanwhile, melt your caster sugar in a separate pan and have the yolks and muscovado sugar mixed together in a separate bowl ready to use.
  • When the sugar in the pan has turned into a golden caramel, very gradually add the warm cream while mixing gently. Be very careful not to burn yourself as it will bubble up and emit a lot of very hot steam.
  • Once the cream and caramel are combined, gradually pour in the egg and sugar mixture while stirring continuously. Add salt to taste and then pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Pour the salted caramel filling into the pre-baked tart case and bake at 100°c until the centre of the tart is no longer liquid, but still has a slight wobble.
  • Check after 30 minutes and keep an eye on it; the total baking time could be up to an hour depending on your oven.
  • When done, leave the tart to cool at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will help your tart taste its best.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. Otherwise, it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
  • You can use any type of chocolate for the ganache. Semisweet, bittersweet, and milk chocolate are all good options.
  • Garnish the tart with additional cornflakes or chopped nuts, if desired.

Conclusion:

This salted caramel cornflake tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and salty flavors is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
