Method

1. 01
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 02
   To make the crust, mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 03
   Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Press into a tart pan and chill for 15 minutes.
4. 04
   Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.
5. 05
   For the caramel, melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until golden. Add butter, stir until melted, then slowly whisk in cream and salt. Let it cool slightly.
6. 06
   Pour the caramel into the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
7. 07
   Heat cream for the ganache until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
8. 08
   Pour the ganache over the set caramel layer. Refrigerate the tart until the ganache is firm, about 1 hour.
9. 09
   Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the tart for garnish.
