Chocolate Tart with Salted Caramel

Tart Crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Salted Caramel:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sea salt

Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Ovaltine® Chocolate Malt
8 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar

1. For the Tart Crust, place flour, sugar and salt in bowl of food processor; cover. Pulse to combine. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and vanilla; process until dough begins to form a ball. (If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water.) Wrap in plastic wrap, pressing to form a disk. Refrigerate about 1 hour.
2. Roll out dough as best you can, but it is easier to press into 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim excess dough from top. Freeze 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tart pan on large baking sheet. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool tart shell in pans on wire rack. Carefully remove tart shell from pan. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Place tart shells on baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature.)
4. For the Salted Caramel, mix sugar and water in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Continue boiling 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, swirling pan occasionally for even cooking. Remove from heat. Add cream, 1/3 at a time, whisking until well mixed after each addition. Add sea salt; whisk until dissolved. Divide caramel among tart shells. Let stand 20 minutes or until caramel is firm.
5. For the Chocolate Ganache, bring cream just to boil in medium saucepan on medium heat. Remove from heat. Add Ovaltine; whisk until dissolved. Add chocolate; stir until chocolate is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Spoon ganache over caramel in tart shell. Refrigerate 1 hour or until ganache is firm.
6. Beat cream and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
7. To serve, place a tart on a plate. Sprinkle with additional sea salt, if desired. Top with whipped cream if desired
