This looks like a pumpkin pie, and given this time of year that would be a logical assumption, but it is in fact a Caramel Tart. I was expecting something super sweet, chewy and gooey but was surprised. It really isn’t overly sweet, has more the consistency of a ganache tart and really is fabulous cold, as Dorie recommends. I made just two individual tartelettes, using a quarter of a recipe, but if I have a dinner party, I won’t hesitate to make a big one. I put a quenelle of ganache top (more for photo decoration than anything else) and when we ate them, a bit of whipped cream, too…delicious.

For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll. Happy Thanksgiving!

When i posted my pic on FB, my mom thought it was Pumpkin, too, untill she read the description and died a little that she couldn’t have any. Lol. I also did some whipped cream, which i thought was the perfect foil for this tatrt.

Good idea with the toppings. This month the desserts were beige and not very photogenic. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I love the addition of ganache on top – caramel and chocolate together, what could be better!
