After last week’s super healthy recipe we’re all good for something a bit more indulgent like this Peanut Butter, Caramel and Chocolate Tart that crossed my path recently. It is a recipe from one of my favourite bloggers, Milk and Honey. I love Jennifer’s recipes and find myself making and baking them time and again.

The Peanut Butter, Caramel and Chocolate Tart is a utterly delicious flavour combination of dark chocolate, caramel and peanut butter. The biscuit base is covered with melted chocolate, then spoonful or two of dulce de leche (caramel), a layer of nutty cheesecake and some more chocolate and peanuts for added flavour and texture.

I tweaked the recipe slightly and added the layer of caramel to replace the addition of condensed milk to the cheesecake filling. I then replace the digestive biscuits with pretzels to make a salty and crunchy crust. You can use digestive biscuits as per the original recipe but just reduce the butter by 20 grams. If you are using the pretzels, the crust might be a bit too dry so just add some more melted butter until the crumbs come together to form the crust.

The tart is not too sweet but quite rich. Taste the peanut butter cheesecake mixture and add some more sugar if you feel it is not sweet enough (don’t forget it will be on a layer of caramel). If you are using digestive biscuits as a crust I doubt it will be necessary but since the pretzels are quite salty you may need to add a bit more to taste.

I do hope you enjoy these delicious layers of salty, bitter and sweet!

I am off to Denmark tomorrow to attend the 2017 FoodPhoto Festival. It is four days of workshops, conference, exhibition and showing your portfolio to art buyers, editors and directors. I am first spending a week in Copenhagen exploring, eating, drinking and getting inspired in one of my favourite cities so do follow along on my Instagram and Facebook accounts.
