How to Make Chocolate Caramel Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Blind bake the tart shell according to package instructions or your own method. This usually involves pricking the bottom with a fork, lining with parchment paper and pie weights, and baking for 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the crust is baking, prepare the caramel. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Do not stir. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar is melted and a deep amber color. Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble vigorously!), whisking constantly until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and salt until melted and combined. Pour the caramel into the cooled tart shell and spread evenly.
  4. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt the chocolate with the butter, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading to create an even top. Swirl the chocolate and caramel with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect, if desired.
  6. Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  7. Before serving, garnish with sea salt flakes (optional) for an extra touch of sophistication.
