Tarte au Sirop d’Érable

Tarte au sirop d’érable is the sugar shack’s answer to tarte au sucre — a filling built on pure maple syrup, enriched with cream and eggs until it bakes into something between a custard and a caramel. It’s the dessert served at the end of every cabane à sucre meal, when the syrup is flowing and nobody wants the meal to end.

What makes it great is that deep, woodsy maple flavor set off by a rich, silky texture and a buttery, flaky crust. It’s sweet, but the maple keeps it interesting — a little flaky salt on top and a dollop of vanilla ice cream make it unforgettable.
