My Must Have Peanut Butter and Chocolate Tart
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chopped, salted dry roasted peanuts
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 9 ounces bittersweet, milk or semisweet chocolate (your preference), coarsely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
Crust:
Salted Peanut Caramel Layer, See Cooking Tips
Peanut Butter Layer
Ganache topping #1
Ganache topping #2
Instructions
- In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, and salt and pulse 3 or 4 times, until blended.
Notes
The ingredient amounts for the caramel nut layer just about filled my whole tart pan, leaving barely any room for the peanut butter filling and ganache toppings, without serious overflow. I removed almost half of it, and cooked it to the soft crack stage (290 F) to make awesome, chewy salted peanut caramel candy to top the tart. However, you can use a larger tart pan, 10-11-inch instead of 9, OR cut the salted peanut caramel recipe in half, OR, do what I did, and enjoy some candy!
