Indulge in these decadent Chocolate Caramel Tarts featuring a buttery cocoa crust filled with luscious caramel and topped with rich chocolate ganache. A sprinkle of sea salt adds the perfect contrast to the sweetness, making each bite a delight.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. 1/4 cup caramel sauce. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/4 cup heavy cream. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. In a food processor, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of tart pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes until set. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Spread caramel sauce evenly over the cooled tart shells. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour chocolate ganache over the caramel layer in tart shells. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top. Refrigerate tarts for at least 1 hour before serving.
