Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
30g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup macadamia
72g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Melting Butter and Mixing with Sugar:
- 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.
3. Adding Cream:
- 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.
4. Incorporating Egg and Vanilla:
- 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.
5. Preparing Macadamia Nuts:
- Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts. Alternatively, you can leave them whole if you prefer larger nut pieces in your tartlets.
6. Combining All Ingredients:
- Add the macadamia nuts to the saucepan mixture and stir until the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
7. Filling the Tartlet Shells:
- 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.
8. Baking:
- 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.
9. Cooling:
- 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.
10. Serving:
- 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.
