Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water until dough forms. Roll out and fit into a tart pan. Prick with a fork and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool.

Caramel Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Caramel

    In a saucepan, melt sugar over medium heat, stirring until golden brown. Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter, then cream and salt. Return to low heat to dissolve any lumps. Stir in vanilla.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tart

    Pour the caramel into the cooled tart crust and let it set for about 30 minutes.

Pecan Cream Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Pecan Cream

    In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until combined. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture along with the toasted pecans.

  2. 6

    Top the Tart

    Spread the pecan cream over the set caramel layer in the tart.

Popcorn Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Popcorn

    In a bowl, toss the popcorn with melted butter, sugar, and salt until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Finish the Tart

    Top the tart with the sweetened popcorn just before serving.
