Today I’m going to show you the dark side of my kitchen…. the side where chocolate, caramel and Baileys rule. Also known as Baileys Caramel Chocolate Tarts. Feel the dark side of the power. Don’t afraid you should feel. Understand you will soon see the dark side. Muharrrrharrr (I know I mixed up Darth and Yoda, but that’s ok for now)…

I know, I say weird things occasionally. I hope you don’t mind. I have to let it out from time to time and interpretive dance is something I am not good at, so this is the only way possible. Though, it would probably be quite funny if I only explain my recipes here via dancing videos…

Anyway. I have a super delicious chocolate tart for you today. With some soft and almost melting caramel. I guess there are actually not many words needed when you look at the pictures. Right?! They tell you the whole story. And hopefully make you drool… but not onto the tart please. Other people also want to have a slice of it I guess.

I wanted to make a chocolate tart for quite some time already, but »only« chocolate sounded a bit boring to be honest. So why not add something to it? Caramel goes pretty well with chocolate. But I have seen chocolate tarts with caramel everywhere already… Well, let’s give that thing a little oomph and we are good to go: Baileys! Sounds good, right?!

I bought a breakfast spread for bread the other day – it was something with caramel and Baileys. And it was so delicious! I guess you can imagine what is coming now…. Exactly. I liked the idea of some Baileys caramel, so I decided to make that myself and use it for the chocolate tart here. Baboom! Best idea ever!

This recipe comes with a warning though. This tart is some heavy stuff. Chocolate-wise and calorie-wise. I recommend to give out only small slices to your guests (and for yourself). Otherwise the dark force will come over you immediately….

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Add the flour, ground almonds, cocoa powder, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the cold butter in small pieces and toss so it is covered completely with the flour mixture. Cut the butter with a pastry cutter or knife into pea-sized pieces. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix in, add water if needed, one tablespoon at a time. It’s best to work with your hands and work quick, so the butter is not getting too warm. The dough is good as soon as it starts sticking together. Form a ball, flatten it, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Slightly grease a 23cm tart tin with a loose bottom*. Roll out the dough on a floured surface slightly bigger than the tin. Transfer the dough into that tin and press it to the bottom and sides to get a nice crust. Cut off overlapping dough and place it in the fridge for another 15 minutes.

3. Place a sheet of baking parchment on top of the dough and fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the crust for 15 minutes, remove the baking beans and bake 10-12 minutes more. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely.

4. For the caramel add the sugar and water to a saucepan and heat up. Cook the mix over medium-high heat without stirring until the sugar has dissolved and it starts to caramelize. That takes a while, but be careful not to burn it. As soon as it starts getting an amber color reduce the heat and add the cream. Be careful it will bubble a lot. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the Baileys and mix it in. Remove from the heat and add the butter and salt – stir until smooth. Pour the caramel into the pre-baked crust and let it cool down. When cooled, place in the fridge for about 4 hours.

5. For the ganache chop the chocolate coarsely and add it to a bowl. Add the heavy cream to a saucepan and heat it up. As soon as it starts to boil, pour it over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a couple of minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour the ganache on top of the caramel layer and smooth out the top. Place in the fridge for another 2 hours. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt before serving.

1. Das Mehl mit den gemahlenen Mandeln, Kakao, Zucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und im Mehl wälzen, bis sie komplett damit bedeckt ist. Die Butter mit einem Teigmischer oder Messer in erbsengroße Stücke teilen. Das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles mit den Fingern zerreiben, falls notwendig noch Wasser esslöffelweise zugeben, bis die Masse anfängt zusammenzukleben. Man sollte hier schnell arbeiten, damit die Butter nicht zu warm wird. Eine Kugel formen, platt drücken und dann in Klarsichtfolie einpacken und für mindestens 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen.

2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine 23cm Tarteform mit Hebeboden* einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche etwas größer als die Form ausrollen. Den Teig in die Form legen und festdrücken, überlappenden Teig abschneiden und die Form noch einmal 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

3. Die Tarte mit Backpapier auslegen und mit Backbohnen befüllen. Den Tarteboden für etwa 15 Minuten blindbacken, dann das Papier und die Bohnen entfernen und für weitere 10-12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und komplett abkühlen lassen.

4. Für das Karamell den Zucker und das Wasser in einen Topf geben und erwärmen. Die Mischung bei mittlerer Hitzezufuhr ohne Rühren (!) kochen lassen, bis sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat und die Mischung anfängt zu karamellisieren. Das dauert ein Weilchen, trotzdem aufpassen, dass nichts anbrennt! Sobald die Mischung eine Bernsteinfarbe bekommen hat, die Sahne zugeben. Vorsicht, es wird sehr aufschäumen. Alles gut verrühren, bis eine dickflüssige Masse entstanden ist. Den Baileys zugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren. Vom Herd nehmen und die Butter und das Salz zugeben und unterrühren, bis die Masse glatt ist. Die Karamellsoße auf den vorgebackenen Boden gießen und etwas abkühlen lassen, dann für etwa 4 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen.

5. Für die Ganache die Schokolade grob hacken und in eine Schüssel geben. Die Sahne in einen Topf geben und erhitzen. Sobald sie anfängt zu köcheln, über die Schokolade gießen und für ein paar Minuten stehen lassen, dann glatt rühren. Die Ganache auf die Karamellschicht gießen und glätten. Für weitere 2 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen. Wenn die Tarte fest ist, mit etwas Meersalz bestreuen und servieren.

Description

Is it possible to have too much chocolate and caramel in one tart? I don’t think so. This Baileys Caramel Chocolate Tart is absolutely stunning and delicious!
