The caramel tart is a delicious traditional Italian dessert. The base is made of a crispy shortcrust pastry enriched with cinnamon and egg yolks. The filling consists of fresh strawberries, juicy pears, and pink pepper for a touch of spice. It is all bound together by a cream of egg yolks, flour, sugar, milk, and a hint of lemon. Caramel is the star of this tart, giving it a sweet and creamy flavor. Perfect for a tasty snack or to end a dinner on a sweet note.
Place the flour in a mound on the table, add the sugar, egg yolks, a level tablespoon of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and the softened butter in pieces
Quickly knead with your fingertips, then work the dough until the flour is completely blended with the ingredients
