Instructions
-
Prepare the Caramel: Begin by placing unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk into a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the cans are fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil and maintain this for a full 3 hours, ensuring you periodically top up the water to prevent it from boiling dry. Alternatively, if time is of the essence, you can cook the cans in a pressure cooker for about 55 minutes. Once done, allow the cans to cool completely before opening.
-
Make the Whipped Cream: While the caramel is cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
-
Combine Caramel and Cream: Once the cans are cooled, carefully open them and fold the caramel into the whipped cream gently until well combined, ensuring the mixture remains light and fluffy.
-
Assemble the Tart: In a 9×13 inch pan, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a layer of chocolate graham crackers, followed by half of the caramel cream mixture. Sprinkle half of the grated chocolate on top. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of caramel cream.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Serve: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve each slice with a dollop of extra whipped cream on top.
Enjoy this delightfully rich tart that’s perfect for any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a touch of decadence!
