Preparation
For the tart shells
- Start by making the dough: mix together the butter, flour, salt and sugar.
- Then add in the egg yolk, and gradually pour in the water. Form the dough into a ball.
- Roll it out on a floured work surface and cut out little circles to fit into your tart molds, which should be greased and floured.
- Blind-bake the tarts (spreading pie weights on their bases) for 18 minutes at 180°C.
- Prepare the caramel by heating the sugar in a pot over low heat, along with two tablespoons of water. Wait until it has turned a deep golden colour before removing from the heat.
- 6. Off the heat, gently add in the cream and whisk to combine.
- Add in the semi-salted butter and whisk again until you have a beautiful glossy caramel.
- Pour into the pre-baked tart shells and place in the fridge for 30 minutes so the caramel can set.
For the ganache
- Use this time to make the ganache: heat the cream and pour it over the chocolate (cut up into chunks).
- Stir gently with a spatula and add in the butter.
- Once the mixture is nice and smooth, pour it over the caramel, smooth it out and return to the fridge for one more hour.
