Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Base
  • 160 g plain biscuits
  • 100 g dairy-free block butter / margarine
For the Caramel and Fudge Layer
  • 6 tablespoons Natures Charm Salted Caramel Sauce
  • 80 g dairy-free dark chocolate
  • 100 g Natures Charm Oat Condensed Milk
For the Meringue
  • 115 ml aquafaba Liquid from canned chickpeas
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 30 ml water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 80 g icing sugar

Method
 

Preparation of Base
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (fan). Line a cupcake tin with 6 cupcake liners.
  2. Blitz biscuits into fine crumbs, melt dairy-free butter, and combine with crumbs.
  3. Fill 2-3 tablespoons of this mixture into each cupcake case, packing it to form a base.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool.
Adding Layers
  1. Pipe caramel sauce into cooled bases, filling them half full. Chill in the fridge.
  2. Melt dairy-free chocolate and oat condensed milk in a bain-marie, then pipe fudge on top of the caramel and chill again.
Making the Meringue
  1. Reduce aquafaba in a saucepan until half its volume, then whip it in a clean bowl with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  2. Heat sugar and water in another saucepan until it reaches 115 degrees C, then slowly drizzle into the whipped aquafaba while whipping continuously until thick and glossy.
  3. Fold in icing sugar.
Assembling Tarts
  1. Pipe meringue onto tarts and decorate with melted chocolate to create ghost faces.
  2. Serve immediately.

Notes

These tarts are best eaten the same day. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and let sit at room temperature before serving to regain lightness.
