Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 150 grams Pecans, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously with a heat-safe spatula or wooden spoon until completely melted and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the sugar is fully melted, carefully add the unsalted butter, a few cubes at a time, stirring to incorporate. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Continue to cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Let the caramel cool slightly for 5 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Fold the melted chocolate into the warm caramel sauce, mixing until fully combined and silky.
Add the chopped pecans to the mixture, folding them in to distribute evenly throughout the filling.
Allow the filling to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before spooning it into pre-baked tartlet shells. Let it set completely before serving.
