Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 8-10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

175g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
85g butter , cut into small cubes
50g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
200g caster sugar
100g butter , cut into small pieces
200ml whipping or double cream
200g shelled walnut half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar, and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 tbsp cold water, and pulse to make a firm dough.
  • Have ready a 24cm tart tin. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 5cm larger than your tin. Lift onto the tin with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Do not trim the pastry. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking parchment and baking beans. Chill for 10 mins. Blindbake for 10 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
  • To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel colour. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
  • Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, levelling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the filling is bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before removing carefully from the tin. Serve warm or cold.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling:
1 cup sugar (preferably baker's sugar or other superfine sugar)
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/4 cups (about 9 ounces) walnuts, toasted, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter to processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse meal forms. Add 4 tablespoons ice water. Blend until dough just begins to come together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough; flatten into disk. Wrap; chill at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of overhang. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork; chill 30 minutes.

  • For filling:
  • Stir 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat. Bring to boil, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Boil without stirring until deep amber color, swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; add cream (mixture will bubble up). Return pan to low heat; whisk caramel until smooth. Add butter, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add all chocolate; whisk until smooth. Stir in nuts. Spread filling in crust. Chill tart until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve with ice cream.

Salted Caramel Walnut Tart image

It took me a while to figure out a way to convert one of my favorite ice cream flavors into a pie-one of my favorite desserts. The result took quite a few tries, but in the end, it was so worth it. -Ruth Ealy, Plain City, Ohio

CARAMEL NUT TART



Caramel Nut Tart image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Pecan     Walnut     Fall     Honey     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

all-butter pastry dough
3 cups pie weights or raw rice for weighting shell
1 1/2 cups pecans (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups walnuts (about 6 ounces)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
Accompaniments:
ginger ice cream
cinnamon nutmeg tuiles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Between 2 sheets of wax paper roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick). Transfer dough to a baking sheet and chill 10 minutes. Lift top sheet of wax paper from dough and gently replace on top (this will facilitate removal of paper later). Flip dough over, discarding wax paper now on top, and carefully invert dough into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Lightly press dough up side of rim, using pieces from overhang to patch any holes. Chill shell 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Line shell with foil, folding over edge to cover pastry entirely, and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell on a baking sheet in middle of oven 35 minutes and carefully remove foil and weights or rice. If bottom of crust still has patches of translucent undercooked dough, return shell to oven without foil and weights or rice and bake until pastry is completely cooked and golden, 3 to 5 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack.
  • Reduce temperature to 350°F.
  • Coarsely chop nuts. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan melt butter with brown sugar and honey, stirring, and simmer 1 minute. Stir in nuts and cream. Simmer mixture 1 minute and pour into shell. Bake tart on baking sheet in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until filling is a few shades darker. Cool tart in pan on rack.
  • Chop chocolate and in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Cool chocolate slightly and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip (slightly smaller than 1/8 inch). (Alternatively, transfer chocolate to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Squeeze chocolate into one corner of bag and with scissors cut a tiny slice off corner to form a small hole.) Pipe thin lines of chocolate over tart in a back and forth motion to form stripes. Tart may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Serve caramel tart chilled or at room temperature with ice cream and tuiles.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened dutch-process cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg yolk
4 to 6 teaspoons cold water
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter, diced
5 large egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like sand. Add the egg yolk and 4 teaspoons cold water; pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball, adding up to 2 more teaspoons water if necessary. Press the dough into a 9-inch fluted tart pan in an even layer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the crust looks dry, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake 5 more minutes. Transfer the crust to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make the filling: Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; cover and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until the sugar is dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until the caramel is a dark amber color, 3 to 5 more minutes.
  • Remove the caramel from the heat and add the heavy cream; whisk until the caramel stops bubbling. Stir in the vanilla and fine salt. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Let melt completely, about 10 minutes, then stir to combine. Remove the bowl from the pan and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Whisk the egg yolks and whole egg in a large bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the caramel, then the melted chocolate mixture. Set the tart pan on a large rimmed baking sheet; pour the filling into the crust.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake until the tart is set around the edges but the center is still jiggly, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully set, at least 3 hours. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Tart image

Provided by Paul Grimes

Categories     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Valentine's Day     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For crust:
9 (5- by 2 1/4-inch) chocolate graham crackers (not chocolate-covered), finely ground (1 cup)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
For filling:
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not more than 65% cacao if marked), chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For glaze:
2 tablespoon heavy cream
1 3/4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon warm water
Equipment:
a 9-inch round fluted tart pan (1 inch deep)

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Stir together all ingredients and press evenly onto bottom and 3/4 inch up side of tart pan. Bake until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 to 20 minutes
  • Make filling:
  • Bring cream to a boil, then pour over chocolate in a bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and salt in another bowl, then stir into melted chocolate.
  • Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling is set about 3 inches from edge but center is still wobbly, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as tart cools.) Cool completely in pan on rack, about 1 hour.
  • Make glaze:
  • Bring cream to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth. Stir in corn syrup, then warm water
  • Pour glaze onto tart, then tilt and rotate tart so glaze coats top evenly. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect caramel filling, use a heavy saucepan and stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reached a deep amber color.
  • For a flaky crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When blind baking the tart crust, use pie weights or dried beans to weigh it down and prevent it from puffing up.
  • Make sure the caramel filling has cooled completely before pouring it into the tart crust, or it will cause the crust to become soggy.
  • To create a shiny chocolate glaze, melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  • For a professional-looking finish, use a piping bag to drizzle the chocolate glaze over the tart.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the tart, but it may be more difficult to achieve a smooth and even finish.
  • Store the tart in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months.
