Snow!

Had so much fun today- me and Leah we're playing in the snow, making snow angels and a snowman and had a snowball fight! Loved it!!

caramel and chocolate tart

Was going to make a chocolate tart the other day and decided to add caramel to it, and it was such a success that there was no left to take pictures of it :) Any way here is the recipe

Basic sweet pastry
200g flour
100g chilled butter
1 tbsp icing sugar
1/2-1 egg

Caramel layer
60g butter
55g brown sugar
1 can condensed milk

Chocolate layer
100g sugar
2 eggs+2 egg yolks
250g chocolate (i used half milk and half dark)
150 g butter

For the Pastry
If you don't have a food processor, pinch butter into flour and sugar until evenly mixed then add the egg slowly until it all comes together nicely and not too sticky. Put into clingfilm and chill for about 30 minutes., then roll out and put into a 23 cm pan and blind bake for 15-20 minutes, then take out beans or whatever you used for blind baking and brush with egg or milk and in again for another few minutes until dry and golden.

For the caramel layer
Add all ingredients in pan and let it bubble for a few minutes, the longer you let it boil the chewier, I just left it for say 5-7 minutes. Let it cool.

For the chocolate layer
Melt the chocolate with the butter in microwave for about 2 minutes and set aside to cool. Whisk eggs with the sugar until thickened and add the melted chocolate and butter and blend until it's glossy.

Add the cooled caramel to the pie crust and add the chocolate mixture and bake for just under 20 minutes in a preheated oven to 180C fan. Serve with a dollop of cream or vanilla ice-cream- ENJOY!!

happy, happy kids!
