I was first introduced to the idea for this recipe for my Aunty around 20 years ago (eek, I’m old!) when she made a similar version in a large sweet pastry tart shell. While I’ve made her original version quite a few times over the years (as it really is the quickest dessert to make) I do really like using these mini pastry tart shells instead as it’s much easier to serve and you also don’t have to share 😉
Tips for Making these Easy Caramel Tarts:
- It’s best to leave these easy Caramel Tarts to chill in the fridge for an hour or so before eating.
- I highly recommend that you enjoy them within a day of making them, as the pastry may begin to go a little soft.
- You can use either mini or a large tart shell for this recipe.
- To turn this into a Banoffee Tart, add pieces of sliced banana to the base of the pie shell.
