Anna Olson Makes a Millionaire Tart! | Baking Wisdom

Recipe below - follow along! Just like a millionaire bar, this tart has a sweet pastry base, a caramel filling and a rich chocolate topping, but is served as an elegant plated dessert. Getting the two fillings to match in terms of set and sliceability requires a little gelatin in the caramel and glucose syrup in both. Corn syrup or other liquid sugars in place of the glucose will not work-and you definitely want to follow the proportions below so the chocolate and caramel melt in your mouth at the same rate.
Plus, my staple sweet dough recipe for tarts! Tender, yet strong enough to hold moist fillings without breaking down. Adding a cooked egg yolk to the dough may seem strange, but it makes the pastry easier to handle and results in fewer cracks.

• Chapters •
0:00 New series: Baking Wisdom!
0:42 STEP 1: Cookie Crust Base
0:55 Beat the butter and icing sugar together in large bowl until smooth
1:34 Add eggs
Push hard-boiled egg yolk through a sieve into a separate bowl and stir into raw egg yolk and vanilla. Add to the butter mixture and stir until blended.
3:08 Add flour and salt to the butter mixture and stir until blended
4:19 Chill the dough
Shape the dough into a disc (it will be very soft), wrap in plastic and chill until firm, up to 2 hours. You can prepare the dough ahead of time and freeze, well wrapped in plastic, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using.
4:49 Roll the chilled dough
On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead the dough to soften, then roll it out to a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) across and ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Carefully lift and line a 9-inch (23 cm) removable-bottom fluted tart pan, press it into the bottom and sides and trim away any excess dough. Chill tart shell up to 30 minutes.
7:56 Bake the tart shell
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place chilled tart shell onto a baking tray and dock the bottom of the pastry with a fork. Bake the tart shell for about 20 minutes, until edges just begin to brown and then immediately brush with egg white. Cool tart shell to room temperature.
8:16 PART 2: Caramel Filling
Soften the gelatin in a dish with the 1 Tbsp (15 mL) cold water and set aside for later.
9:04 Add 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water to saucepan, then add sugar and glucose syrup
10:25 Boil the sugar
Without stirring, bring the sugar to a full boil over high heat. Occasionally brush the sides of the pot with water at the boiling line to prevent crystallization, for about 4 minutes, until the sugar turns a rich amber colour.
11:48 Whisk in new ingredients
Remove pan from heat and carefully whisk in cream as a steady stream (watch out for a burst of steam). Keep whisking until caramel stops bubbling. Whisk in softened gelatin until dissolved. Whisk in butter, followed by sea salt. Set the caramel aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
13:40 Fill and chill the pie shell
Pour cooled caramel into the baked tart shell. Chill for another 30 minutes.
14:06 STEP 3: Chocolate Topping
14:32 Make the ganache
Have the chocolate ready in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and butter to a full simmer over medium heat. Add glucose to chocolate, then pour saucepan mixture on top. Let sit for a minute, then gently stir together until smooth.
16:21 Finish and chill
Pour the ganache over the now-chilled caramel layer and refrigerate the tart for a full 2 hours. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve.
17:06 The results!
Store the tart, uncovered, in the fridge until serving. Once cut, loosely cover the exposed portion and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Just got your book going to bake my way through it. Because of you I started a home based cupcake business in NOTL

[@jackieveal]

That’s awesome 👏

[@Ghazi47]

Anna you looks like a born teacher .. the way you explain rationally and while discussing the flaws is a treat to watch .. this tart looks my favourite .. and u know i am also a tart lover too

[@jenifferbrandt5291]

don`t you feel she speaks too much? I get bored and distracted ....

One of my grandmother's use to make Millionaire Bars, so this would be definitely awesome to try!

[@paulasimson4939]

The book is absolutely fantastic and this series on YT is amazing. So much good information. And the editing and camera work really are adding to the educational component.

WOW! That chocolate ganache and caramel tart looks absolutely delightful! I love watching you bake. You are such a great instructor and the tips with explanations are awesome. Thank you so much!

This looks so decadent and very special. A millionared slice or tart iknown has lightly roaster and salted macadamia cashews and hazel nuts

[@KarleneA380]

Awesome video Anna! The "baking wisdom" nuggets are fantastic and the camera angles are amazing!

[@Gigi-hq5rk]

i love your explanations of why you’re doing a specific technique

[@lostlatinlover]

I'm old so maybe my memory is defected. But I remember my mom putting what looked cellophane on the crust then pouring the caramel. I think the "cellophane" was sugar glass or something like that. Anyway I'm in a "baking-duel" with my 35 year old son. So far he's winning by a landslide. His wife and kiddos are reaping the benefits of fresh baked beignets, scones, fresh baked French bread, perfect cookies and more. Every time I whip up something he nails me down. I'm very tempted to try your recipe here. Anyway I love your presentation. Keep up the good work/videos.

[@elizabethfelix8226]

Bought the book just for Millionaire Tart, KZbin is great, sometimes recipe ingredients/instructions are difficult to follow so now I have a great new book and clearer instructions. The tart came out almost perfectly, taste and textures outstanding! The one thing I would do differently next time is to not fill the shell completely, chocolate was a bit overwhelming to some taste testers and it sloshed around a bit when placing it in fridge so it covered some of the crust. Oh, since I had the book on hand and a request for chocolate chip cookies from my husband, I made your chocolate chip cookie bars. Another outstanding recipe, looking forward to baking more of them!!!

Hi Anna, love so much your recipes. I was delighted to discover this recipe because I love crunchy biscuits. I have done this twice and my biscuits/cookies become very thin, not like yours! The second batch wasn’t even crunchy! I bought your book thinking this recipe might be in the book so I could learn what I might be doing wrong. What am I doing wrong? Joy 😊

Anna, is there a different ratio of cream to chocolate if I were to use milk chocolate or even half dark and half milk. Thanks for the idea of a lovely Easter dessert x

[@francec.vachon3841]

That looks sooo good but sound very very sweet because of the caramel but anyway thanks for sharing 🙂

[@Sonita888]

Is there any possibility to replace the glucose in the caramel with gelatine? And if yes, what would the proportions be?

[@PumpkinVine25]

Hey Anna I've been wanting to make a white chocolate brownie but was wondering if it would work out cuz white chocolate is different than normal chocolate

[@AsharahTPO]

Hi madam, about the glucose, are they can be find in baking ingredient shop? Or its homemade?

[@royallclark6331]

Anna, can Karo syrup be substituted for the glucose?

[@judithcaputi3753]

What can you use in place of glucose which is hard to find in Italy where I live and bake?

[@carmerosa3348]

[@jimd2991]

Kitchen tour would be great...

[@Christinecampbellbaker]

If I were to make this recipe for 4” individual tarts, how many would it yield?

[@reneegormley2824]

If I don't have glucose syrup, can I use light corn syrup.

[@daydreamer8051]

Yes sure you can , actually you can use any invert sugar, even honey! The only thing is that corn syrup is much sweeter than glucose and less viscous! Still you can totally use them interchangeable

[@paulasimson4939]

In Anna's book Baking Wisdom, she says "Corn syrup or other liquid sugars will not work in place of the glucose in this recipe". They may be interchangeable in other recipes, but according to Anna, not in this particular one. Hope this helps.

[@rupaldesai5290]

Is there a replacement for glucose?

[@MeribethTikkanen]

I made the tart yesterday and it was a hit! I used a 9" tart pan but found I had left over ganache. After looking at the video again, I think the trouble is that my tart pan is only 1/2" tall and the one used for the recipe must be taller. What height should the tart pan be?

[@bahonarbahonar9202]

شما فوق العاده اید

[@lisaanderson135]

I live in the US and glucose is hard to find. Could I use light corn syrup and 1/8 tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice instead? I made the suggestion of adding cream of tartar or lemon juice to replace the acid that is naturally found in it. I wanted to ask before I started making the caramel and ganache.

[@gulandamfarhat5920]

You may use corn syrup and the acid. Or just one of these two ingredients

[@gulandamfarhat5920]

To the ganache only add cornsyrup.

[@lindamel72]

You might check Michaels. They carry glucose syrup in CANADA so I’m sure they do in the US. 11:51

@@lindamel72 thank you! I actually ordered a couple jars of glucose back in 2020. When I took it out of my cupboard, the expiration date was 1/2021. I wasn’t sure if it was safe to use because the date has passed. I wouldn’t think something like glucose would spoil but if anyone knows the answer I would appreciate it!
