Description
A luscious tart with a crisp biscuit base, rich salted caramel filling, and silky dark chocolate ganache topping.
Ingredients
225g / 8 oz plain sweet biscuits, crushed
150g / 10 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
100g / 7 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
2 cans sweetened condensed milk (395g / 14oz each)
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup thickened cream or cream with 30%+ fat
150g / 5 oz dark chocolate melts or chips
Sea salt flakes for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line the base of a 23cm/9″ tart tin with a loose base.
Break biscuits and crush into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin in a ziplock bag.
Transfer crumbs to a bowl, add melted butter, and mix until combined resembling wet sand.
Press mixture firmly into the tart tin base and up the sides. Place tin on tray for easier handling.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool; chill for 5 minutes if desired.
For caramel, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat; add brown sugar and whisk until combined.
Once bubbling and sugar dissolves, gradually add condensed milk, whisking constantly until steaming, about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in salt to taste. Pour caramel over biscuit base.
Bake tart for 15 minutes until caramel edges are golden with a soft center.
Cool tart at room temperature while making ganache.
Place cream and dark chocolate in heatproof bowl and microwave in two 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Let ganache thicken for 10 minutes, then pour over caramel layer and smooth or swirl the top.
Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and refrigerate tart for 1 ½ hours to set chocolate.
Before serving, bring tart to room temperature and carefully remove from base or just the tin sides.
Notes
For Digestives biscuits use 150g butter for the base instead of 150g.
Pressing the base firmly helps it hold together.
Adjust salt to your preference for perfect balance.
Allow ganache to thicken slightly before pouring for an even topping.
