INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the sweet pastry. In a large bowl mix almond flour with ground almonds, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt.
- Incorporate butter to the flour mixture, using a pastry blender, a fork or a pastry processor, until crumbs are formed.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in. Add water and incorporate into the dough.
- Wrap it with plastic, knead slowly to form a disc and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- On a floured surface or over the plastic wrap roll the dough to a circle with about 1 1/2 inches larger than your tart pan.
- Lift up the rolled dough and place it on a greased 9-inch tart pan. Remove the edges and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
- Prick the dough with a fork, line a parchment paper over the dough. Fill with dry beans, rice or pie weights.
- Bake for 15 minutes in preheated 350 F (180C) oven. Remove the weights and the parchment paper.
- Return to oven for another 10 to 15 minutes. Allow cooling before removing from the tart pan.
- Prepare the caramel. Place the sweetener and water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook without stirring until sweetener dissolves and gets a caramel color.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cream. It will bubble a little bit.
- Cook for about 1 or 2 minutes stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until smooth. Remove from heat and add butter and salt. Stir well until smooth.
- Let the caramel cool slightly and pour over the chocolate crust. Refrigerate for about 4-5 hours.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the cream in a small saucepan.
- When the cream just begins to boil at the edges, remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit one minute, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel. Spread it evenly and refrigerate for another 2-3 hours before serving. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve.
