Ingredients

Salted caramel

3 cup caster sugar

1/4 cup water

450 millilitre cream

2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Chocolate ganache

175 gram 72% dark chocolate, cut into small pieces

130 millilitre cream

1 1/2 teaspoon creamed honey

25 gram butter

24 ready-made pastry cases

Method

1.Heat sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbling and almost the colour of golden syrup, or it reaches 170ºC when tested with a kitchen thermometer. Do not stir at any stage.

2.In another saucepan heat the cream until almost boiling. Very carefully add cream (it may splatter) and sea salt to melted sugar. Stir to combine, then set aside to cool until lukewarm.

3.Pour caramel into pastry cases to about ¾ full and refrigerate.

4.To make the chocolate ganache, heat chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave for 50 seconds or over a double boiler.

5.In a saucepan heat cream and honey until it almost reaches boiling point. Pour semi-melted chocolate into cream. Add butter and combine until melted.

6.When caramel has started to set, pour chocolate mixture onto tarts and return to the fridge to set completely.

7.Sprinkle over sea salt when ready to serve.
