Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the egg yolk and cold water until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
- Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until set. Let cool.
- In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Increase the heat and cook without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color.

- Pour the chocolate caramel filling into the cooled tart shell.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
