If you're looking for a quick and simple yet impressive dessert, caramel tart is the perfect choice. This flavorful dessert, with rich textures and a sweet taste, will surely be the star of your table. Follow the steps below to create an extraordinary tart topped with jelly and almond flakes.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 200 grams of biscuit crumbs (preferably digestive or chocolate biscuits)
- 150 grams of almonds or nuts (choose according to personal preference)
- 100 grams of butter (melted, preferably unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- A pinch of salt
- A packet of clear jelly for cakes
- 2-3 tablespoons of almond flakes for decoration
Instructions:
1. Preparing the tart base: Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with the ground almonds or nuts and melted butter. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. This will be the delicious base of your tart. Press the mixture into the tart pan to form an even crust. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
2. Preparing the egg cream: Separate the eggs, keeping the whites and yolks in separate bowls. In a saucepan, place the yolks along with 4 tablespoons of sugar. Set the saucepan over a bain-marie and whisk constantly for about 10-15 minutes until the cream thickens and turns a deep yellow. I recommend taking your time with this step, as slow whisking will help achieve a finer texture.
3. Combining ingredients: Once the yolk cream has cooled, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If you want to add a touch of originality, you can also try almond or rum extracts. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until you achieve a firm foam. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until shiny. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk cream using a spatula to keep the air in the mixture.
4. Assembling the tart: Pour the cream into the already baked biscuit crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula and return the tart to the oven for another 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Let it cool completely.
5. Finishing and decorating: Prepare the jelly according to the package instructions. Once the tart has cooled, pour the jelly over the egg cream, allowing it to settle evenly. Sprinkle almond flakes on top for an elegant and crunchy appearance.
Serving suggestions: Caramel tart can be served plain, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with warm chocolate sauce. You can also add some fresh fruits, such as raspberries or strawberries, for a delicious contrast.
Possible variations: Instead of almonds, you can try other nuts like pecans or pistachios for a different flavor. You can also replace the jelly with a caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Caramel tart is a versatile and easily customizable dessert, perfect for any occasion. You will surely impress everyone with this simple and delicious recipe. Enjoy!
