Decadent Chocolate Caramel Tart

This tart features a crisp chocolate crust filled with a smooth chocolate ganache and topped with a generous drizzle of homemade caramel. The preparation time is about 1 hour, and it serves 8 people, making it an ideal choice for gatherings or special occasions.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for caramel)
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Chocolate shavings or sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
2. Make the Ganache: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the chopped chocolate in a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Caramel: In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden amber color. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the butter, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
4. Assemble the Tart: Once the ganache is set, drizzle the caramel over the top of the tart. Allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.
5. Serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of sea salt if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
