Instructions
- To make crust:
- Preheat to 350 degrees.
- Butter or spray 12 x 8 or 14 x 4 rectangle fluted tart pan with nonstick cooking spray. May use 8 x 8 baking pan.
- Stir together flour, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add butter and cut into mixture until coarse crumbs forms. May use a food processor. Stir in water, starting with 1 Tablespoon and add more as needed, up to 2 Tablespoons. Add egg yolk and mix until it begins to come together.
- Press dough on the bottom of the pan. Pierce bottom with a fork. Bake until lightly golden brown -- 18-22 minutes.
- To make caramel: whisk sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, dark corn syrup, and vanilla in medium saucepan and cook over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to side of a pan. Bring to a gentle boil and keep cooking (8-10 minutes) or until caramel is pale golden and thick and temperature registers 225 degrees. Whisk constantly.
- Once the caramel is thick, pour evenly over crust. Let set for 15 minutes.
- To make chocolate ganache: melt chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second increments until melted and smooth.
- Pour chocolate over caramel. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
