Directions

  1. First, prepare the caramel sauce: place the sugar in a frying pan and heat over low heat until it melts and becomes caramel, being careful not to burn it. Then, add the heavy cream to create the sauce.
  2. For the pie crust, you can use store-bought pastry or make your own. In this case, I’m using store-bought puff pastry. ≈ 3 min
  3. Place the dough in a suitable baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil and chickpea flour to weigh it down. Preheat the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
  4. In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar, and whisk until the mixture thickens and becomes firm. ≈ 4 min
  5. In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the mascarpone with the pastry cream, then gently fold in the whipped cream. ≈ 4 min
  6. Spread this cream evenly over the bottom of the tart pan, then let it cool in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
  7. Cut into portions and serve with your favorite caramel sauce. ≈ 8 min
