Caramel Brownie Tarts

February 19, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 28 Comments

Grab a drink in one hand and a pastry bag in the another, we are going to hit this Sandra Lee style. Objections? I don’t think so. Sometimes everyone needs a fancy semi-homemade treat. And if we are going to do it, lets do it with some ready-made brownie bites for the base, ready-made caramel for a filling and homemade brûlée meringue to finish.

Caramel Brownie Tarts

See—easy.  You can do this while sipping on something. Well, maybe between sips—might be safer with the torch and all.

 

Carmel Brownie Tarts

Carmel Brownie Tarts

Yield: 1 dozen 1.5 tarts

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 3/4  cups sugar
  • 1 dozen 1.5-inch brownie bites
  • 6 oz. caramel dip

Instructions

  1. Combine egg whites and sugar in a stand mixer bowl and place it over (not on) simmering water. Heat mixture to 160 degrees F while whisking constantly.
  2. Transfer mixer bowl to stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium high speed (speed 8 on a KitchenAid stand mixer) until mixture cools, doubles in volume and forms stiff peaks; about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and pipe it along the perimeter of brownie. Torch meringue and fill center with caramel.

Notes

A few notes:

  • For the torching the meringue, save yourself some money and just buy a Bernzomatic propane torch instead  of one of these kitchen torches you usually see in William Sonoma and Sur la Table. They can be twice the price and aren’t nearly as strong.
  • For the caramel filling I used Marzetti's Old Fashioned Caramel Dip. It's much creamier and thicker than regular caramel sauce.

    I’m all about a partially pre-made dessert now and then. Sometimes the shortest past to a sugar rush is the best!

    Definitely think we all need more recipes like this in our repertoire.. And thanks for the heads up on the torch! Mine is crap and I need a new one!

    So simple and yet still super impressive! That’s how you roll, isn’t it? Well, maybe not always simple, but the impressive part for sure 🙂 Thanks for the torch advice!

    Is it weird that I use a gas lighter whenever I need to torch a dessert?

    I’m always up for semi-homemade… Especially when it looks as amazing as this! Also, just bought a torch from WE, but I had a gift card and it’d been on my list for a while. You’re right though. The regular propane torches are cheaper.

    February 20, 2013 at 2:15 pm

    Um, yes. Semi-home-made perfection here. You’re right, sometimes, that is what everyone needs. All I needed to hear was easy+brownie+caramel. I’m sold!

    These are SO CUTE!!! And I think if I bought that torch – my husband would be in the kitchen more wanting to help out just so he could play with it! ha ha ha

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck!
