    This Caramel Nut Tart Recipe is a great twist on the classic pecan pie and would be amazing with vanilla ice cream. I didn't have any but wish I did.

    This caramel nut tart is totally caramelly, and so dense! It is full of delicious almonds and pecans. Is caramelly a word? With this tart, a little goes a long way, so it easily serves 12.

    Caramel Nut Tart Recipe

    Add cubes of butter and process for an additional 10 seconds.

    Caramel Nut Tart Recipe

    Carefully add 1 tablespoon of water at a time as you process until a dough forms. Squeeze dough together making sure it holds shape. 

    Caramel Nut Tart Recipe

    Gently press dough into a 9" tart pan, making sure the dough goes all the way up on the sides.

    Caramel Nut Tart Recipe

    I made the mistake of not shaping mine all the way to the top of the pan. Poke holes in the dough with a fork. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Set aside. 

    Filling Ingredients for this Caramel Nut Tart Recipe: 

    • 1-¼ cups white sugar
    • ¼ cup water
    • ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts
    • ½ cup chopped pecans
    • ½ cup slivered almonds
    • optional for serving: vanilla ice cream or whipped topping

    Filling Directions for this Caramel Nut Tart Recipe: 

    Put sugar and water into a medium sauce pan. Heat on medium low, stirring constantly until sugar is melted.

    Increase to medium high heat and boil without stirring until caramel is a deep color, about 6-8 minutes.

    Make sure you occasionally stir and watch to be sure the mixture doesn't burn. 

    Reduce heat to low and SLOWLY stir in the whipping cream.

    Don't rush this as you're mixing cold with hot and the potential for a hard rock of candy is possible! Stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted.

    Remove from heat.

    Stir in nuts. 

    Carefully pour caramel filling over prepared crust.

    Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven and cool completely. 

    Slice into 12 wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping if desired. 

    This Caramel Nut Tart Recipe serves 12 people.

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
