Finished with chopped raw almonds and a sprinkle of flaked salt, it’s rich, indulgent, and perfect for tantalizing your sweet tooth. The tart requires chilling time to set, making it an impressive treat for gatherings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Almond Butter Caramel

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup raw almonds, chopped

Chocolate Ganache

  • 6 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Flaked salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare tart pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch round tart pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is fully moistened and holds together. Press the dough evenly into the tart pan, including up the sides slightly to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust turns slightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely to set.
  4. Prepare almond butter caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and creamy almond butter. Whisk continuously until the mixture is bubbling, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes smooth.
  5. Add vanilla and cool caramel: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the caramel to cool to room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.
  6. Assemble tart with caramel and almonds: Pour the cooled almond butter caramel into the cooled tart crust. Sprinkle the chopped raw almonds evenly on top. Place the tart in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the ganache.
  7. Make chocolate ganache: Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat just until warm and edges begin to bubble. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften.
  8. Stir ganache: Stir continuously until the chocolate completely melts and the mixture becomes smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  9. Top tart with ganache and salt: Remove the tart from the fridge and pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the caramel layer. Sprinkle flaked salt on top for contrast and flavor.
  10. Refrigerate tart to set: Return the tart to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to fully set.
  11. Serve: Slice the tart into very thin slices due to its richness and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the tart is fully chilled before slicing to maintain clean edges.
  • The rich caramel and chocolate layers make this dessert quite dense; thin slices are recommended.
  • You can substitute the almond butter with peanut butter if desired, but it will alter the flavor profile.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for the best taste and texture.
  • Optional: sprinkle flaked sea salt for a nice sweet-salty contrast.
