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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Continue to cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Let the caramel cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Fold the melted chocolate into the warm caramel sauce, mixing until fully combined and silky.
Step 7
Add the chopped pecans to the mixture, folding them in to distribute evenly throughout the filling.
Step 8
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.
