Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the granulated sugar in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Allow the sugar to melt undisturbed, swirling the pan occasionally to promote even melting. Avoid stirring at this stage.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up rapidly.
Step 5
Continue cooking the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Step 7
Pour the caramel filling into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before using it to fill your tart shell.
Step 8
Chill the filled tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
