SALTED CARAMEL-PECAN TART

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the crust:
Cooking spray
1 3/4 cups pecans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons salted butter, thinly sliced and at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ounce semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the crust: Lightly coat a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool. Transfer 1/2 cup of the pecans to a food processor; add the flour, sugar and kosher salt and pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size bits. Pulse in the egg yolk and vanilla until large clumps form.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it into the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom all over with a fork, then freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until set, about 25 minutes, then remove the foil and weights and continue baking until golden, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
  • Make the caramel for the filling: Combine the sugar, 1/4 cup water and the kosher salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves. Cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until amber, 8 to 10 minutes. Brush any sugar crystals off the side of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream, butter and vanilla (the mixture will bubble). Return to medium heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Gently whisk the eggs and flour in a large bowl, then whisk in the caramel. Place the crust on a baking sheet, arrange the remaining 1 1/4 cups pecans in the bottom and add the filling. Bake until set around the edge, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Drizzle over the tart and sprinkle with sea salt. Let the chocolate set before slicing.

Time 3h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water at room temperature
1 cup milk at room temperature
¼ cup butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
½ cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt, or to taste
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 ⅓ cups chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Combine yeast, sugar, water and milk in a large bowl. Let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Spray two 9-inch cake pans liberally with cooking spray.
  • For the caramel sauce, combine 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves in the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt; mix well but do not bring to a boil. Sauce will be thick. Divide sauce equally into cake pans. Sprinkle equal amounts of pecans on top of caramel sauce.
  • Divide dough into two equal portions and roll out each section into a rectangle approximately 14x6 inches.
  • For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Brush melted butter evenly on each rectangle and sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mix. Starting with the longer side roll up each rectangle. Cut each roll into 9 equal portions. Place rolls into prepared cake pans and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake until browned and baked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Immediately (and carefully as sauce will be very hot) invert onto a plate. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of pecans. For the best flavor and texture, use pecan halves or pieces that are fresh and not too oily. Avoid using pecan pieces that are dark or have a rancid smell.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Make sure the caramel is the right consistency. The caramel should be thick and slightly sticky, but not too hard or too runny. If the caramel is too thick, add a little more cream or milk. If the caramel is too runny, cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until it is thick and bubbly, but not too thick or too dark. Overcooking the sauce will make it bitter and grainy.
  • Serve the sauce warm. The sauce is best served warm, so make it just before you're ready to eat. You can reheat the sauce gently in a saucepan over low heat.

Conclusion:

Salted caramel pecan sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to flavor a variety of desserts, such as ice cream, cakes, and cookies. It is also a great addition to savory dishes, such as chicken and pork. With its rich, buttery flavor and crunchy pecans, salted caramel pecan sauce will leave you craving for more.
