  • 120 g cold butter cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 50 ml cold milk or water
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 60 g salted butter
  • 300 ml warm heavy cream

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Mix dry ingredients for the crust in a bowl, add cold butter and rub until it resembles coarse sand.
  2. Add egg yolk and cold milk or water, mix gently to form a soft dough, then chill for at least 2 hours.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough, press it into a tart pan, chill again for 30 minutes, and blind-bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
  4. For the caramel, melt sugar in a saucepan until amber, then stir in salted butter and warm cream, whisking constantly.
  5. Pour the caramel into the cooled crust and let it set in the fridge for an hour.
  6. For ganache, chop dark chocolate and pour hot heavy cream over it, let sit then stir until smooth, then pour over the set caramel.
  7. Chill the tart for at least 3 hours or until ganache firms up before serving.
  8. Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle fleur de sel before slicing and serving.
