Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup additional heavy cream for chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
- Pour the butterscotch mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the tart to the refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes while you prepare the chocolate layer.
- In another small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the tart from the refrigerator and pour the melted chocolate mixture over the butterscotch layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure to cover the butterscotch completely.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate layer is set. For best results, let it chill longer if time allows.
- Once set, remove the tart from the refrigerator and carefully remove it from the tart pan. Slice into 8 equal pieces.
- Serve the tart chilled, and for an extra touch, sprinkle a little additional sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy your No Bake Salted Butterscotch Chocolate Tart!
Tips
- • For the smoothest chocolate and butterscotch layers, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning • Ensure your butter is fully melted when mixing with graham cracker crumbs for the perfect crust consistency • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most intense flavor • Chill the tart for at least 1 hour, but if you can wait longer, the flavors will meld even more beautifully • For a professional presentation, use a tart pan with a removable bottom • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top just before serving for an extra flavor boost • If the tart is too firm straight from the refrigerator, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
