Desserts don’t come much easier than these scrumptious tarts. You can also use baby pastry cases – the mini versions make the perfect cocktail party food.

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
8 purchased sweet pastry tart shells, about 8cm across the top
200 grams dulce de leche or caramel condensed milk
smoked sea salt or regular flaky sea salt
