For the Chocolate Glaze:
- ½
cup
heavy cream
- 5
ounces
dark chocolate
(finely chopped)
Fleur de sel
(to garnish)
Make
the Crust: Place the butter and sugar in a food processor and process
until pale in color, about 10 seconds. Add the cocoa powder, flour, egg
and vanilla and pulse until a soft dough forms (about 10 1-second
pulses). Turn out into a round 9-inch tart pan and press into the bottom
and up sides. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 15
minutes, or until the dough is baked through. Set aside.
Make
the Caramel Filling: Place the cream and butter in a small saucepan
over low heat and warm until the butter has melted; set aside.
In
a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over low heat, stirring
until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to high and boil,
without stirring, until dark golden and the mixture reaches 340 degrees F
on a thermometer. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the cream
mixture (be cautious, as it will bubble up). Return the saucepan to low
heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until thickened.
Stir in the fleur de sel and pour into the pastry shell. Refrigerate
until set, at least 30 minutes.
Make
the Chocolate Glaze: Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat
the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove
from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then
stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Pour the
chocolate over the caramel layer. Refrigerate until set, at least 15
minutes. Sprinkle with additional fleur de sel before serving. Leftovers
should be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
