  • Vanilla caramel pecan tart - Preparation step 9It's ready!

Observations

Salted caramel: Be careful of splashes when adding the butter (add the butter all at once) and the cream!

Shortcrust pastry: This dough does not require long kneading; just incorporate the ingredients before forming a ball and flattening it (the dough will cool faster if you flatten it) in plastic wrap to chill.

You can decorate the top as you wish; we made zigzags with a star tip. You can also make star shapes or simply smooth the whipped cream on top.
