Caramel Walnut Tart
with Raspberry and Chocolate
Makes 16 servings
2½
cups chopped walnuts
½
recipe Pâte Sucrée (page 28)
1½ cups
granulated
sugar
1 cup
water
3
tablespoons light corn syrup
pinch kosher salt
½ cup
heavy
cream
1
⁄
3
cup raspberry preserves, strained
2
ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1. Preheat the Cuisinart
®
Convection Toaster Oven Broiler to 400°F
on Bake/Pizza. Line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Spread the
walnuts on the prepared pan and carefully slide into the upper position.
Toast for 4 to 5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Cool to
room temperature. 2. Roll out the dough into a 10-inch disc about
1
/

-inch thick. Fit into an ungreased fluted tart pan. Chill in refrigerator
for about 20 minutes. A few minutes before the shell is done chilling,
preheat the oven on Convection Bake at 350°F with the rack in the
lower position. Using a fork, prick the dough evenly all over, but make
sure not to go entirely through the dough. Line the shell with parchment
and weigh down with dried beans or rice. Bake in preheated oven for
about 20 minutes, or until the dough underneath the parchment is no
longer wet. Remove the beans/rice and parchment and continue baking
until the shell is golden brown. Remove and reserve.
2. While the shell is baking, add the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt to
a heavy-bottomed, medium saucepan. Wipe down the inside walls
of the pan with a wet pastry brush to be sure that there are no sugar
granules in the pan – if the walls of the pan are not clean, it will hinder
the quality of the caramel. Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat
until it turns to an amber color. Once it achieves that color, take off
from heat and slowly stir in the cream. (Note: The mixture will bubble
quite a bit, so it is important to do this step slowly and off the heat.)
Then stir in the toasted walnuts.
3. While caramel is cooking, spread the raspberry jam on the cooled tart
shell. Pour the caramel-walnut mixture on top of the raspberry layer.
4. Put the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Once the
chocolate is almost fully melted, remove from heat and stir to cool to
room temperature. Drizzle chocolate over the caramel-nut tart. Chill in
refrigerator for 3 hours, or overnight.
