In the interest of keeping my options open for other desserts later on - I choose to make a half-batch of this dessert. Out came a ramekin and a 4+" springform pan (which ended up being my favorite presentation).
I paused for a moment at the "make the caramel" step thinking back to my many caramel failures and thought about resorting to my fail-safe method but decided to give it a go.... SUCCESS!!!! DELICIOUS SUCCESS!!!
The honey roasted nuts were a great addition and have become a pantry staple.
The crusts were over-baked just a little - I liked Dorie's comment that they tended to hold up better - but that really didn't matter.... they were eaten before it became an issue!
I didn't get a nice clean finish on the crust - but nobody complained.....
The only complaint was "why isn't there more?" - and I got my "success".......
Wow, it looks perfect! It's always nice to have such a success.
ReplyDeleteThe honey roasted nuts would be a staple in my pantry, except I eat them so fast that I can't keep them stocked!
Isn't it great when you have a "Good Tuesday"? Especially when it comes on a Thursday. :) Nicely done Jeff - I didn't think the honey peanuts would be good... but a lot of folk did. Maybe I'll give them a shot next time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great complaint! Im glad you enjoyed this recipe. Your tart looks incredible and so tasty. It makes me want to make it again. It lasted one night at my house!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! That looks so good! All those different layers :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good! I like that thick ganache layer.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing, and I love the crunchiness of the caramel from the nuts. How long did it last?! Sounds like it was gone in flash! :)
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have done a great job with your tart! Thanks for sharing:)
