Ingredients for the ganache

  • 150 gr. fresh cream.
  • 300 gr. milk chocolate.

Ingredients for the caramel

  • 150 gr. sugar.
  • 1 dl. water.
  • 1,5 dl. Fresh cream.
  • 70 gr. Salty butter.

Method

Prepare the tart as shown here

To make the ganache, heat the fresh cream until it boils, then pour it hot over the chopped chocolate. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Once ready, pour the ganache into the cooled tart shell.

Next, prepare the caramel by heating the sugar and water in a thick-bottomed saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat until the syrup turns a golden color, being careful not to let it darken too much, as this will affect the flavor of the caramel.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the cream and butter. Return it to low heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Allow the caramel to cool, then pour it over the set ganache in the tart.

If desired, serve with a side of vanilla sauce.
