Directions

Tart Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are fully moist and can be packed down together.
  3. In a lined mini muffin tin, scoop about 1 tablespoon of crust and pat down.
  4. Bake crusts for 5-8 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and set aside.

Salted Caramel Sauce

  1. Add sugar to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wood spoon to avoid burning sugar. Cook sugar until it is thick and amber-colored.
  2. Add butter in and carefully stir immediately.
  3. After butter has been added, slowly pour heavy cream into caramel, stirring constantly. Once cream has been added, let caramel boil for a minute, then remove from heat.
  4. Stir in salt, then let caramel cool (caramel will thicken as it cools down).

Blueberry Caramel Mousse

  1. In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in cold water. Let mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  2. Add hot water to bowl to melt thickened gelatin. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a bowl, whip cream until stiff, then add gelatin mixture and stir.
  4. Add in caramel sauce and blueberries, and mix.

Assembling the tarts

  1. Using a piping bag, pipe caramel on top of tart crust.
  2. Using a spoon or piping bag, add a dollop of mousse to each tart crust.
  3. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
  4. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and blueberries.
