Trees are wearing beautiful red and ocher colors, and despite the actual temperatures, it’s definitely autumn time!
As walnuts are back on markets stalls, this is the perfect occasion to dug out the walnuts and salted caramel tart, that if it is a caloric bomb, even so a tasty explosion.
After all, we need to get prepared for winter, and sometimes, it’s so good to indulge ourselves.
This tart is just a pure bliss. I add some nuts ganache for a softness taste and use my almond pastry, but of course, you can use any sweet shortcrust pastry you like.
Be careful when you prepare the caramel, cook it until lightly browned to avoid a bitter taste.
To be served with a cup of tea or coffee! This tart is perfect for a snack and lazy Sundays.
