It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time for Tuesdays with Dorie. This week Carla of Chocolate Moosey chose Chocolate-Crunched Caramel Tart, which is available on her blog or in Dorie Greenspan’s fabulous book, Baking: From My Home to Yours
Have I ever said how much I love Dorie’s Sweet Tart Dough? It’s not sweet tart in the sense that it’s sweet and tart, it’s a tart dough that’s sweet. :) It’s so easy to work with and I don’t get the pie dough phobia that I get every time I try to make and roll out a pie dough. No this dough is delicious, has just the right amount of sweetness, and it’s tender without falling apart.
Now, make some homemade dark caramel and chop some nuts, spread them in that fabulous tart dough, top with rich bittersweet chocolate ganache, and you have this week’s tempting treat.
Some of the TWD bakers said that they had to much ganache. I actually put as much as I could into the tart dough, chilled it for 20 minutes, then added the rest and spread it around the top. I chilled for the remaining 10 minutes and it worked perfectly, no left over ganache.
My pictures are crap this week. Hopefully I can snap a few more in the daylight, but wanted to make sure I got this post up. UPDATE: Added new photos, but still aren’t the greatest. :-p
Be sure to check out how the other TWD bakers faired!

oh wow this looks divine you need to enter this one into another competition Rebecca
The picture looks wonderful to me- of course chocolate is one of my main food groups! Well done.
mmm yum!
Your tart looks wonderful. Great job!
I knew just looking at posts this week will probably add pounds on me! No need for better pictures. It looks great!
Those pictures are not crap! They are great! And I love the way you spread the ganache! I tried that, but failed miserably! Haha! Gorgeous job – sorry you thought there was too much ganache, though! It is very rich!
I love the way the top looks all swirly in the first photo, no way could I get mine to do that. Of course, you know me, I wasn't going to spend a lot of time messing with chocolate, but I do admire that when I see it in others. Great job, inside and out!
I love that photo of the long, slender slice. It makes me wish I had some left (but that tart didn't last more than two days at my house!).
Yum! Definitely think that is insulin worthy! :D
Thanks all!
biz – LOL – yeah not!
i agree with you on the sweet tart dough. amazing! and i think your pics are great!
They look fantastic – love how your ganache turned out. The dough IS fantastic isn't it! I'm glad I made some additional batches to keep on hand – nicely done this week!
I had to much ganache.
So I am going to make some hot chocolate with it.
wow, your tart looks perfect! I too, absolutely love the sweet tart dough! It is amazing! I think your pictures look incredible!!! :)
I know you are saving me a piece, right?
Beautiful, gorgeous, and lovely.
I want to eat this, like, RIGHT NOW. Looks so delicious.
Fantastic looking tart! I love Dorie's sweet tart dough too.
Ciao Amanda ! I loved this tart too ! Yours look divine !!
This looks wonderful Amanda. I had a fight with the ganache, but it still tasted great!
Your tart looks beautiful and your pictures are lovely. I love the swirl marks on yours!
WOW…this looks sinful and delish….
Interesting comments about the tart dough. I had a little trouble with mine. Not as flaky as yours. Your new pictures look good too.
I need to make this one!
your tart looks just perfect!
Beautiful tart, your crust looks especially nice, so does that thick layer of ganache.
I thought your photos looked fine but we're are toughest critic.

That looks completely divine. I love Tuesdays!
I do not think your pictures are crap! Your tart looks perfect though! :) Nice job!
That looks so decadently, chocolaty and good! Pass me a slice please.
Your pictures aren't crap! They're very good! I read about your pie dough phobia, and it cracked me up! I'm the opposite. Every time I see that we have to use the sweet tart dough, I cringe. I just can't get it right, but I LOVE Dorie's pie crust…it's never failed me yet! Too funny!
That looks yummy!!
I sure understand pie crust phobia! You've done awesome with this tart. I bet that it was every bit as good as it looks!
Wasn't this one just fabulous? Can't wait to try it again soon. Yours looks simply terrific!
