Salted caramel and ganache tarts

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (60ml) cream (pouring or thickened)
• 200g dark cooking chocolate, broken into cubes
• 12 ready-made tarlet cases
• 12 tbsp slow cooker salted caramel (this is equal to one tin)
• 12 strawberries (for garnish)

Method

Step 1. Place cream in a glass bowl and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds. When hot, add dark chocolate pieces.

Step 2. Using a metal spoon, mix chocolate and cream well until all chocolate is melted and you have a smooth mixture. You may need to return to microwave for 5-10 second bursts until you have smooth glossy ganache.

Step 3. Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of salted caramel into the tartlet cases and smooth over with the back of a spoon.

Step 4.  Spoon warm ganache over the caramel and tap bases gently on the bench to smooth over the tops. Slice strawberries into fan shapes and place on top.
