Feast Your Eyes on This Tart!
First, let’s drool over this irresistible tart. Just look at this beauty!
Gather Your Ingredients
Before we start mixing and baking, here’s what you need to create your chocolate-macadamia masterpiece:
- 1 pre-made tart shell (because we all have that one friend who’s great at shortcuts!)
- 1 cup of roasted macadamia nuts, chopped (the star of our show)
- 1 cup of dark chocolate, chopped (this is where the magic happens)
- 1 cup of heavy cream (because life’s too short to skimp on cream)
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (for sweetness, obviously)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (to make everything gooey and glorious)
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt (a pinch more for flavor nirvana)
- Optional: Shredded coconut for the Hawaiian touch (if you want to feel like you’re on a tropical vacation)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have everything, it’s time to make this tart that will make even your grandma jealous!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get your tart shell ready to be filled with deliciousness.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until melted and smooth— no lumps allowed!
- In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture into the melted chocolate and mix like you mean it until it becomes nice and creamy.
- Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and a sprinkle of sea salt. Yes, that’s right! We’re making a flavor explosion here!
- Pour this enchanting mixture into your pre-baked tart shell. Smooth it out like you’re spreading love.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. You want it set but still a little jiggly in the middle (like your cousin after too many holiday cookies).
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Patience is key, my friend!
- Once it’s cool, you can sprinkle some shredded coconut on top if you’re feeling extra fancy.
Slice, serve, and watch as your friends devour this delightful tart. It’s a little taste of Hawaiian paradise that you can enjoy without booking a plane ticket! So, what are you waiting for? Get in that kitchen and start your Hawaiian adventure today!
