I created this Chocolate Caramel Tart in honor of the birth of a Panda cub last week (August 21, 2020) to Mei Xiang \u2014 a 22-year-old giant panda at the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, D.C. This is such \u201cfeel good\u201d news and it is very welcome in this anxious Covid19 year. We celebrate the birth of one of nature\u2019s most unique animals and feel the hope it brings with it for new beginnings! The Panda has often served diplomatically as China\u2019s national symbol. Cities worldwide seek them for exhibitions. Last year, in Copenhagen, we were lucky pleased to receive two Giant Pandas from the Chinese city of Chengdu. I wanted to make something sweet to celebrate Pandas everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panda Chocolate Caramel Tart begins with a chocolate buttery-almond crust covered over with rich Salted Caramel then topped with a yin-yang Panda-like Dark and White Chocolate glaze. Enhancing this already spectacular dish, walnuts and pecans crown and provide a symmetry to the whole. When cut, the caramel oozing out from between the crust and the glaze always makes my mouth water. So sweetly satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EASY CARAMEL BASE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can make this easy filling without the worries that making caramel often brings. You only need to combine the ingredients (Brown Sugar, Unsalted Butter, Salt, Milk, Heavy Cream and Vanilla Paste) in a saucepan and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the caramel thickens up. This filling can also be used to top ice cream or as a surprising addition to my Cool and Modern New York Cheesecake<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

DARK AND WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is important to use the right density of Dark and White Chocolate to reach the best result. I recommend baking chocolate if at all available. Any other chocolates will work, but you will have to work harder to get the right consistency for the ganache. I also suggest the use of  Rum or Rum Aroma to enhance the dark chocolate taste, as I did in my Silky Chocolate Pudding with Rum Explosion<\/a>. It is essential to wait until after the caramel base has been refrigerated and is set up before you make the chocolate ganache. Otherwise the ganache will be too thick to pour smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haini’s Tips<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

1. Make sure you check out my video instruction to see how I created this beautiful Panda Chocolate Caramel Tart.
2. It is always important to refrigerate the tart once made. The refrigeration helps firm the caramel. If you like caramel less gooey, freeze the tart before serving.
3. Remember to put your peanuts back into the oven and finish toasting! Then you will get delicious toasted peanuts as snacks on the side. If you are having a dinner party, you are making dessert and snacks all at once!\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This Panda Chocolate Caramel Tart is as sublimely beautiful as it tastes. The Dark and White Chocolate Ganache represents the Yin and Yang colors of the Panda. The smooth ganache, the decadent caramel, and the crisp almond crust provide timeless and heavenly eating sensations. And maybe other sensations too\u2014if you believe the hype about chocolate and eros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy making this Panda Chocolate Caramel Tart. It takes a bit of time and persistence, but in the end, the reward is as great as when the first glimpse of a new Panda cub astonishes onlookers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
