Critical Success Points

  • Whip the cream to soft peaks, not stiff or grainy.
  • Do not overmix the caramel and cream; streaks are desirable.
  • Chill the tart for at least 2 hours (24 hours preferred) for best texture.

Safety Warnings

  • If making caramel from scratch, never open a hot can of sweetened condensed milk (risk of explosion).
  • Supervise children when using food processor or sharp knives.
