the tarts are so elegant! nice shots. I think you meant Patricia, and not Elle….

beautiful Ivonne!

Simply gorgeous. I too found that the dough was cracking up and a bit difficult to get into the pan. You did a fantastic job of the challenge as always!

Ivone. You have done very well with the challenge. I love the chocolate curl!

Looking at yours I am thinking I filled mine up with too much caramel and that is why my caramel never really sat.
A lovely job as alway Ivonne.

is that white chocolate that you drizzled on top? your tart looks absolutely lovely

I just love your first picture there. Without even knowing what it was made of, I loved it: warm and classy I thougt… Then I read your whole post. I still love it but appreciate it even more, thinking about all the work involved and learning about your obvious passion in concocting those pretty things.

Thanks for sharing.

nice decoration– they look beautiful!

This makes my mouth water! Yummy!

That looks wonderful Ivonne. Nice finishing touch with the chocolate.

It’s beyond me..why did I forget the decoration…?
Elegance on a plate, very tasteful, love the way you decorated!

Very elegant pretty tarts, yum!

Very classy indeed - great photos and a beautiful end product.

ıvonne,harıkasın ben 2 yıla yakındır senı takıp edıyorum.ve tarıflerını denıyorum..ellerıne saglık..cok begendım…

Beautiful pics Ivonne. I would love to see you published one day.

A lovely rendition indeed, I love your decoration! Like you I had the hardest time keeping myself from just taking a bite out of the tart after the caramel layer was done. It looked sooo good even then.

that tart is perfection!! each of your culinary masterpieces (as well as each photograph) is always a feast for the eyes; and so inspiring!

As usual, beautiful post…tell me…is there a place for me in your office?? please!!

Ivonne, your little tarts are so lovely. And the drizzle of white works very well on the top, of course. I’d thought about making small tarts, too, but my pans do not have removable bottoms, and of course, this makes me hesitate every time. The last time I used them, my mini-lemon meringues were stuck. If you’ve got a trick that could help me, let me know!

I love the way you decorated them, Ivonne!

Lovely indeed! I like how you decorated the tarts and the huge chocolate curl is just wonderful! Great job Ivonne!

Sounds like everyone’s been having a busy summer - but you’ve still managed to be a goddess in the kitchen! I really like how you decorated the tarts - very sweet!

The white chocolate would have made this tart over the top sweet… just the way I like things.

wow! All these chocolate caramel tarts is making me hungry.
Yours looks very lovely and delicious.

Exquisite. I echo one of the posters above: you really should do a book.

so pretty!! i love the white chocolate streaks and the chocolate curls!

That looks fabulous - the white chocolate looks gorgeous drizzled on top. Great job!

Elegant is definitely the word to describe your beautiful chocolate caramel tarts…I love the way you added melted white chocolate and milk chocolate curls as well. They are so beautiful.

Really great twist on the decoration! I love the chocolate on top. Veronica and Patricia picked a GREAT recipe! And while I’ve seen the Daring Bakers Challenge many times, I never realized you were the creator! Thanks for such a fun idea!

Your tarts are perfect!! I love the decorations.

What adorable little tartlets! What attention to detail! They look great.

That looks like something you can get at a pastry shop! It’s really very beautiful. I think I’m going to try this.

Beautiful as always! Elegant and plentiful (yeah!!). Love the shades of brown going on.

You did such a beautiful job, sweetie!

I love the chocolate curls and drizzles - a perfect decoration for perfect lil tarts, made by a perfectly wonderful friend!

xoxo

Your tarts are beautiful! I love the chocolate curls and the white chocolate contrast! Makes me wish I had some mini tart pans

Bit flashy for my liking

Still what man doesn’t like a nice tart covered in cream… oooh, matron! (Carry On… film quote, sorry)

I was also happy that this month’s challenge wasn’t too complicated. Your beautiful mini tarts are worthy of display in the finest patisseries. I’d say you definitely have a future in pastry.

What sweet little tarts…so pretty with the white chocolate and chocolate curl. Your experience with pastry shines through.

ooh, you made mini ones - so cute! Love the chocolate drizzle curl decoration!

Hooo boy, that looks delicious! I love your decorating, too.

Your decorating job just pushes them over the edge to totally amazing. But we’ve come to expect nothing less from you!

Ho, same recipe, might even taste sort of the same but everyone is so different AND everyone like this one is so beautiful. I love the drizzle and the curl, so perfect. Just like the Daring Baker that you are.

Yum! Those are so lovely! I love to make mini versions of things.

This looks so good i makes me wish I joined the Daring baker a month earlier. your pictures are beautiful.

I can’t wait for my first! September here I come.

Simple, elegant, beautiful! I love the decorations.

This is gorgeous~just perfect!

I love the chocolate curls and white chocolate drizzle. It must have tasted fantastic! My tart crust was a little dry and crumbly too.

Ivonne, I love how your tart looks so elegant with the ‘copeaux de chocolat’ [chocolate shavings].
B e a u t i f u l !

- fanny

You make such beautiful creations! these are beautiful!

Beautiful Ivonne! Truely inspired! You are quite the baker, my friend!

My crust had the same issues - cracked as I rolled it out. You made the best of it, and your tarts are lovely.

Ivonne - What a treat this is! It is a great idea to turn this rich dessert into mini-versions. I love the simplicity and beauty of your white chocolate ganache and dark chocolate curls. There is so much depth of flavor and color in your creation. Beautiful, as always.

Wow!!! Gorgeous new format! I’ve been gone for a while, but just started checking back in and making the rounds, and I have to say, your new format as well as this post just blew me away. Absolutely stunning. Nice work

I’m sorry. I know I said I’d try not to drool on your blog anymore, and I’m trying but you aren’t helping me!
Good thing I brought a napkin, just in case.

As someone who just loves caramel and chocolate (I have eaten many Caramilks in my days), I just can’t tell you enough how divine these tarts look! The photography is beautiful! To honor Labour Day I just have to find the time to make these tarts (like I need an excuse). I know my family will be happy! Hopefully they will turn out as good as yours look! Great job Ivonne!!

As usual your challenge turns out beautifully! You make even the 40-step recipes seem like a graceful dance This one both looks fantastic, and sounds so scrumptious…chocolate and caramel…YUM! Love how you’ve decorated it too

Often with tart base, it needs chilling which prevents the base to shrink when baked. I often use the tart base with only flour, egg yolks, a bit of sugar, and chilled water/milk and that would gibe a nice short crust. But yeah, ground nuts such as almonds or hazelnut will give nice flavour, won’t it? Your tarts look fantastic, Ivonne!!

Bellissime le tue tortine! Non ce l’ho fatta a postare questo mese… sono stata all’estero per lavoro e adosso mi preparo finalmente per le vacanze estive… non vedo l’ora.
Il prossimo mese non mancherò…
Complimenti ancora!
Ciao.

I had a feeling visiting you during a break from work would be worth it. Lovely.
Alexandra

I love your decoration Ivonne! It always looks to beautiful to eat!

I love the individual tarts…and your white chocolate decoration! Lovely!

Your tarts look absolutely beautiful!

Your tarts are spectacular but so is everything you make! I love the white chocolate and giant chocolate curls. Marvelous is the only word for you. Wendy

wow, this tart looks amazing!! really great presentation…good job!!

You never cease to amaze me Ivonne…How is it that you’re able to capture both the rustic and the elegant aura of these tarts so clearly in both your words and your photos? Gorgeous!

Your tiny tarts are always so lovely and gorgeous. Just like in a pastry shoppe. Great job!!

I’d like to thank everyone for their wonderful comments! It was a lot of fun making these tarts!

Ivonne
