Instructions:

Caramel Filling Instructions:

1.) Bring water and sugar to a boil over medium heat without stirring. Continue to cook until sugar is caramelized to a light amber color.

2.) Remove from heat. Deglaze with cream in 3-4 additions.

3.) Add butter and salt. Whisk together.

4.) Return pan to medium heat and cook caramel to 114°C (237°F).

5.) Remove from heat, add in Vanilla Moroni Flavor Paste and pour into a 7" tart shell.

Chocolate Ganache Instructions:

1.) Place milk chocolate into a medium bowl.

2.) Bring cream, Trimoline, and salt to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate.

3.) Using an immersion blender or whisk, emulsify the chocolate mixture.

4.) Add butter and continue to emulsify.

5.) Pour ganache on top of caramel for a smooth finish or cover the surface of the ganache with plastic wrap and allow to cool to room temperature before spreading on top of the caramel in a decorative way.

6.) Optional: Garnish to your taste. Here, we used Dark Chocolate Blossom Curls, Caramel Crispearls, and Bienetta caramel lace tuiles.
