Turtle Tart with Caramel Sauce image

Between the creamy filling, crispy crust and gooey caramel sauce, there's a lot to love about this tart. Plus, you can make it two to three days in advance. One of my daughters even asks for this instead of cake on her birthday. -Leah Davis, Morrow, Ohio

The tart was easy to make, but the caramel sauce was a bit tricky. I ended up burning it the first time I tried.
