Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, black sesame seeds, and powdered sugar. Pulse until the sesame seeds are finely ground.
  3. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the egg and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  7. Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely.
  8. To make the caramel sauce, heat the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts into a thick amber-colored liquid.
  9. Add the butter and stir until melted and combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up.
  10. Allow the caramel to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in the sea salt. Let the caramel cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled tart shell.
  11. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to set the caramel before serving.

Tip

For the best results, make sure to chill the tart crust dough thoroughly before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking during baking.

Side Dish Suggestion

A great side dish to pair with this tart would be a light and refreshing green tea ice cream. The subtle bitterness of the green tea will balance the sweetness of the caramel and enhance the overall flavor experience.
