Tarte au Foudant a L’Erable

(From the cookbook, Maple Syrup (40 Recipes for Fine Dining at Home)

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup butter, melted
Ľ cup butter, second amount
1 cup caramels, preferably maple flavoured (30-32)
1 cup 2% milk, warmed
3 large egg yolks
1 envelope unflavoured gelatin
3 tablespoons cold water
Ľ cup boiling water
˝ cup heavy cream (35% m.f.)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare crust by mixing together graham crackers crumbs, 1/3 maple
syrup and melted butter. Pat into a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate and bake 8 minutes. Remove
from oven and set aside to cool.

Over boiling water in a double boiler combine second amount of butter, caramels and warm milk.
Cook, stirring constantly, until caramels are melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from
stove and immediately whisk in egg yolks, stirring until fully incorporated. Sprinkle gelatin over
cold water and allow to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Stir boiling water into gelatin, then fold
into caramel mixture. Pour into prepared crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm,
approximately 3-4 hours.

At serving time, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently whip in 3 tablespoons maple
syrup and continue to beat until cream stiffens. Cut pie in wedges and serve with a dollop of
maple flavoured whipped cream.
