Sure! Here's a simple and modern dessert recipe for you
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Sea salt flakes, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In another saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring and let it cook until it turns a deep amber color, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Slowly pour the warm cream into the caramelized sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Be careful as it may bubble and splatter. Stir in the sea salt until well combined.
- Place the saucepan back over low heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Stir until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the caramel-chocolate mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top for an extra touch of flavor.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Once set, remove the tart from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious salted caramel chocolate tart!
Note: You can get creative with this recipe by adding additional toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
