A decadent dessert combining rich chocolate ganache and luscious salted caramel atop a flaky crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tart Crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Press mixture into a tart pan.
  2. Bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Make the Salted Caramel: Heat brown sugar and butter in a saucepan until melted. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in sea salt.
  4. Pour the Caramel: Pour caramel into cooled crust. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Combine dark chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until melted and smooth. Pour over set caramel layer.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until ganache is set, about 1-2 hours. Sprinkle with sea salt, slice, and serve.
