Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it's liquefied.
- Once melted, add the brown sugar into the saucepan.
- Stir continuously until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Gradually add the heavy whipping cream into the saucepan, carefully stirring to combine with the melted butter and sugar mixture.
- Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes while stirring, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly.
- Once the saucepan mixture has cooled slightly but is still warm (to avoid cooking the egg instantly), add the beaten egg and vanilla extract.
- Stir quickly and continuously to blend everything together thoroughly.
- Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts. Alternatively, you can leave them whole if you prefer larger nut pieces in your tartlets.
- Add the macadamia nuts to the saucepan mixture and stir until the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Arrange pre-made tartlet shells on a baking tray. If you prefer to make your own tartlet shells, prepare and partially bake them according to your preferred tartlet shell recipe.
- Spoon the macadamia mixture into each tartlet shell, filling them almost to the top.
- Place the filled tartlets into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Allow them to cool completely before serving to let the filling set properly.
- Serve the macadamia tartlets as a delightful dessert on their own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use the freshest macadamia nuts you can find for the best flavor. Toasting them lightly before adding them to the tartlets can enhance their nutty taste.
- Ensure that the butter and cream are at room temperature to facilitate easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- When making the caramel, keep a close eye on the sugar to prevent it from burning. Stir continuously for an even consistency.
- Pre-bake your tart shells slightly before adding the filling to ensure they remain crisp and don't get soggy.
- Allow the tartlets to cool completely before serving to let the filling set properly.
