  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 1Roll out the pie crust, and cut circles using a cookie cutter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 2The caramel:
    Put the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt and caramelize, shaking the pan occasionally to mix.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 3Once the caramel has formed, add the butter all at once (be careful of splashes!). Don't take too long before adding the butter to avoid burning the caramel. Mix well.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 4Then add the cream, being careful of splashes, and mix well until the caramel is fully dissolved. Let it boil, then thicken for about 10 minutes while stirring. The caramel will still be relatively liquid, but don't worry, it will harden as it cools. Let it cool.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 5Place the crust circles over the cups of the inverted muffin pan. (It is not necessary to grease it).
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 6Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Let cool, then unmold your tart bases.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 7Fill them with caramel (if it has hardened too much, microwave it for a few seconds to soften). Place the tarts in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 8Melt the chocolate, then pour some on each tart, and tilt them to spread the chocolate nicely and evenly. Return to the fridge for 1 hour to let the chocolate harden.
  • Caramel and chocolate tarts - Preparation step 9And there you have it, your caramel and chocolate mini tarts are ready!

Observations

No salted butter? Use regular butter, then add a tiny teaspoon of salt.
