Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups hazelnut flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Filling:
- ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F. Grab a mixing bowl and combine 1 ½ cups hazelnut flour, ½ cup melted butter, ¼ cup sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until fully blended.
- Transfer the mixture into a tart pan. Press firmly to create an even base. Slide into the preheated oven and bake precisely 10 minutes.
- While crust bakes, prepare the chocolate filling. Chop ½ cup dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces.
- Pour ½ cup heavy cream into a saucepan. Heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges, just reaching a gentle boil.
- Remove cream from heat. Pour immediately over the chopped chocolate. Allow mixture to sit undisturbed for exactly 2 minutes.
- Whisk chocolate and cream until silky smooth. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly.
- Carefully pour chocolate mixture into the pre-baked hazelnut crust. Return to 350F oven.
- Bake 25 minutes until filling sets with a slight jiggle in the center. Remove and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Slice and serve your elegant chocolate hazelnut tart when fully cooled and firm.
Notes
- Toast hazelnuts before grinding for deeper, nuttier flavor in the crust.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich, intense chocolate experience.
- Chill the tart for at least an hour to help it set perfectly and enhance the texture.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm your hazelnut flour is certified gluten-free.
