Chocolate Caramel Mac Nut Tart

By Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land

Back in March 2017, my entire family took a very special trip to Maui – my mom, my dad, my sisters, husbands and all of our kids, a trip a few years in the making, as my dear dad hasn’t been able to travel due to health issues and had finally gotten the okay from his docs that he could take a trip! We went to his most beloved place, the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Someone recently said to me that “Hawaii is the theme of your family” and that’s pretty much true – whether it was my dad’s Hawaiian themed 70th birthday party, or my own wintry vintage Hawaiian themed wedding on a snowy day in January – and, just this past Father’s Day, Hawaii themed!! Because why not.

I made my sweet friend Alana’s chocolate caramel mac nut pie recipe, fried up some Spam musubi and coconut shrimp – I got too tired to fry up chicken so I ordered delivery! As soon as I read Alana’s recipe I knew I wanted to make it for a special occasion such as this!

(The inspiration for wanting to make a chocolate mac nut pie – Leoda’s pies in Maui! So so delicious and totally worth a trip there)! Here is Alana’s definitive Maui guide which will help you plan your next vacation! PLUS: of course, Alana of Fix Feast Flair’s chocolate caramel macadamia nut tart recipe! The only thing I added was a dusting of Maldon salt for a sweet and salty textured addition, and I made regular whipped cream instead of mascarpone – but I loved the tangy creme fraiche flavour in both the caramel and the ganache! So good! Thanks so much Alana for the recipe! Sigh. Dreaming of Hawaii once again… xo Lyndsay
