Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place the granulated sugar in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
Allow the sugar to melt undisturbed, swirling the pan occasionally to promote even melting. Avoid stirring at this stage.
Once the sugar has fully melted and turned into a deep amber color, carefully add the butter. Stir continuously with a whisk until the butter is fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up rapidly.
Continue cooking the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Pour the caramel filling into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before using it to fill your tart shell.
Chill the filled tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
