Baileys salted caramel mini chocolate tarts

These Baileys salted caramel mini chocolate tarts are stunningly delicious. Sweet shortcrust pastry, a layer of salted caramel, topped with creamy Baileys and chocolate ganache, and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt to bring out the flavour.

Here’s the speedy, cheaty, 6-ingredient recipe.

  • 12 sweet shortcrust pastry cases
  • 250g salted caramel sauce
  • 150g dark chocolate
  • 200ml double cream
  • 100ml Baileys Original Irish Cream
  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes

Instructions

Lay the pastry cases out on a tray.

Spread a rounded teaspoon of salted caramel onto the base of each pastry case. Place in the fridge while you make the ganache.

Melt the dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl, leave to cool to room temp.

Pour in the cream and Baileys.

Whisk! At first it might look a little dull and granular.

Keep whisking until you get a thick, glossy ganache.

Spoon the ganache into the pastry cases, swirling gently to the edges.

Place in the fridge for a couple of hours, or the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

Sprinkle with a little sea salt to serve.

Enjoy!

    • Yes, just up the cream content to replace the amount of Baileys you would have used. It doesn’t have to be too exact, though – the ganache is pretty forgiving if you don’t get the amounts spot on.

    • Normal caramel would work fine as long as it’s quite a firm kind (ie not a really loose sauce). And milk chocolate would be ok but you might want to reduce the cream content a bit as milk chocolate is softer than dark chocolate and so the ganache might take a long time to set.

      • Thanks for that, I was just going to use the ingredients I’d got in but when I’ve come to look the kids have eaten the chocolate anyway so a trip to the shop for dark chocolate it is lol

  21. I saw this on Instagram and it made me drool. Love Baileys in dessert and I’m obsessed with salted caramel. I make a baileys fudge pie with salted caramel cream and it was dreamy. I’m going to have to make this!

  23. Ooh these look rather naughty. Definitely something I think I’d love for treat time. Wondering if they’d work with my gluten free crust…
