- Remove from oven and cool in pan for 2 minutes.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Salted Caramel Sauce

- Once completely melted, bring to the boil.
- Boil mixture for 1 minute, whilst stirring.
- Pour mixture into a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add vanilla extract and salt.
- Whip mixture for 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens.
Assembly
- Attach a small round nozzle to a piping bag.

- Pipe sauce into tart shells, filling them to the top.
- Alternatively, spoon sauce into tart shells.
- Add a pinch of salt on top of each tart.

Notes:
- Best assembled and served on the day.
- Store in an airtight container, refrigerated or in the pantry for 3-4 days.
- You can prepare the tart shells and the salted caramel sauce the day before and assemble them when you need them.
- When molding each tart shell dough into pan, ensure to leave no holes otherwise the shells will crack when baked and will be difficult to remove.
