Cuisinart TOB-60 Series, IB-8099, TOB-160BCW manual Pizza Dough, Pâte Brisée

While the shell is baking, add the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt to a heavy-bottomed, medium saucepan.. Wipe down with inside walls of the pan with a wet pastry brush to be sure that there are no sugar granules or water droplets in the pan – if the walls of the pan are not dry, it will hinder the quality of the caramel..

Cook the sugar mixture until it turns to an amber color.. Once it achieves that color, take off from heat and slowly stir in the cream (note: the mixture will bubble quite a bit so it is important to do this step slowly and off the heat).. Then stir in the toasted walnuts..

While caramel is cooking, spread the raspberry jam on the cooled tart shell.. Pour the caramel-walnut mixture on top of the raspberry layer..

Place the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.. Once the chocolate is almost fully melted, remove from heat and stir to cool to room temperature.. Drizzle chocolate over the caramel nut tart.. Chill in refrigerator for 3 hours, or over night..
