Instructions
Tart Crust
Prepare a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom
Combine the almond meal, sugar, flour, and butter together in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a fine sand-like texture
Add the iced water and pulse until the dough comes together
Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper, it should be a thin round of dough large enough to cover the tart tin
Line the tin with the dough, lightly press dough into the base and sides of the pan, and trim off any excess
Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F
Dock the base of the tart tin with a fork and line it with baking paper
Fill the lined tart tin with pie weights, baking beans, or rice and blind bake for 35 minutes, or until cooked through
Remove the pie weights and baking paper and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the base is lightly golden
Allow the tart shell to cool completely on a wire rack, then remove it from the tart tin
Caramel Layer
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat
Heat, stirring continuously, for 5 minutes, or until the butter has completely dissolved and the caramel is smooth and golden brown
Remove from the heat and pour into the baked tart shell
Place the tart in the fridge for an hour to set
Chocolate Ganache
Combine the chocolate, cream, and butter in a medium-sized heatproof bowl
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and place the bowl on top
Heat the ingredients, and stir until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is smooth
Remove from the heat and pour over the chilled caramel
Place it in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours, or until set
