These chocolate caramel tartlets are perfect bite-size, make-ahead, semi-homemade treats. Made with homemade caramel sauce, dark chocolate, and ready-to-use tart shells, but you can also make homemade mini tart shells.
In a heavy-bottomed deep saucepan, add the sugar, water, and lemon juice.
1 cup Sugar, 2 tbsp Water , 1 tsp Lemon juice
With the heat on medium, bring the sugar to a boil. Shake the pan slowly, guiding the distribution of heat. DO NOT STIR.
Continue to cook on medium to low heat until the sugar starts to turn amber. Add the butter, followed by the cream. Take it off the heat so it does not overflow or overheat in the pan.
¼ cup Cream, 4 tbsp Butter
Add the vanilla extract and coarse salt.
2 tsp Vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Break the chocolate and add it to the caramel sauce. Stir until smooth again.
4 oz Dark Chocolate
Assemble
Use a spoon or piping bag to divide the chocolate caramel between 24 individual tartlets.
Place the tarts in the fridge until set (2 to 4 hours) or until ready to serve. Garnish and serve at room temperature.
