Apricot Salted Caramel Oreo Tart

Sharing is caring!

This Apricot Salted Caramel Oreo Tart is made with a crust of thin Oreo biscuits as its base with a pastry cream on top.   A thin layer of salted caramel is then added, a mousse, made with lemon flavoured French buttercream (pâte à bombe), combined with whipped cream and topped with the apricots and salted caramel.

The base of the tart was made with the thin Oreo biscuits (without the cream) and butter.   In the recipe, I say two packets, minus two biscuits because my husband and I couldn’t resist and we ate one each 🙂

I made this tart with the leftover French buttercream when making my husband’s birthday cake. 

In the buttercream, I added whipped cream and the cream I removed from the biscuits and flavoured it with lemon.  No additional sugar was added.

After making the caramel, I cooked the fresh apricots in the caramel for a few minutes.  If your apricots are not very ripe, cook them up to five minutes or reduce time, if they are very ripe.  

I then added salt and heavy cream to make the salted caramel, in which I added gelatine to help the caramel set.

I cannot get over this delicious tart as there are three layers of decadent lusciousness there plus the juicy apricots on top and let’s not forget the oreo tart crust.

I know it is a bit time-consuming to make all the steps, but it you have the buttercream prepared ahead, as I did, as it holds well in the fridge for a lot of days, then the rest can be made in a couple of hours and the result will compensate you for all your effort!
