Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/4 tsp salt

2-3 tbsp ice water

For the chocolate ganache:

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped

2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the salted caramel:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. To make the crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until dough begins to form.

4. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan, trimming the edges. Chill for 20 minutes.

5. Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Let cool.

6. Meanwhile, heat cream for the chocolate ganache over medium heat until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in butter until fully incorporated.

7. Pour ganache into the cooled crust and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

8. For the salted caramel, heat sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and amber in color. Add butter and mix until melted, then slowly whisk in cream and sea salt. Allow to cool slightly.

9. Pour caramel over the set chocolate ganache and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.

10. Serve the tart chilled or at room temperature, garnished with sea salt flakes if desired.

Storage

Store the tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheating

The tart can be served cold or at room temperature. For a slightly warm tart, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
