Ingredients

Scale
  • Tart Crust:
    • 1 1/4 cups flour
    • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter (cold and cubed)
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 2–3 tablespoons cold water
  • Filling:
    • Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
    • Flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Make Dough:
    In a food processor, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and cold butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of cold water, then pulse until the dough begins to come together. Add more water if necessary.
  • Chill Dough:
    Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Shape Tarts:
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut circles large enough to fit into tart pans. Press the dough into the pans and trim any excess.
  • Chill Tarts:
    Refrigerate the tart shells for 15 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
  • Bake Tarts:
    Bake the tart shells for 12-15 minutes or until they are set and the edges are firm. Let them cool completely.
  • Fill Tarts:
    Once the tart shells are cooled, fill them with a generous amount of caramel sauce.
  • Sprinkle Salt:
    Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel filling for that perfect sweet-salty balance.
  • Chill and Serve:
    Refrigerate the tarts for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use homemade caramel sauce.
  • Be sure to use flaky sea salt for the best texture and flavor contrast against the caramel.
  • If you don’t have tart pans, you can use a muffin tin as an alternative.
