Ingredients

  • FOR THE TART CRUST
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1-2 tbsp cold water (as needed)
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT FILLING
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

1
Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2
Prepare the Tart Crust:

In a food processor, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse again. Gradually add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together.

3
Chili and Bake Crust:

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.

4
Make the Ganache:

Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and fully combined. If desired, mix in honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

5
Assemble the Tart:

Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts over the top of the ganache.

6
Chill

Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.

7
Serve

Carefully remove the tart from the pan and slice into wedges. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
