Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Step 2: Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  3. Step 3: Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
  4. Step 4: In a small saucepan, heat 3/4 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Remove the cream from heat and pour it over 6 oz chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1/2 cup caramel sauce into the chocolate ganache until fully combined.
  7. Step 7: Pour the ganache mixture into the cooled tart shell and smooth the top.
  8. Step 8: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes evenly over the tart.
  9. Step 9: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm before slicing and serving.
