Decadent Desserts: Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines two of my favorite flavors: rich chocolate and nutty hazelnut. This Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart is the perfect dessert for a special occasion or a cozy night in. The velvety smooth chocolate filling paired with the crunchy hazelnut crust creates a decadent treat that will satisfy all your sweet cravings.

Ingredients:

• 200g of hazelnuts
• 100g of unsalted butter
• 300g of dark chocolate
• 250ml of heavy cream
• 50g of honey
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• a pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• tart pan
• saucepan
• whisk

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until finely ground. Add melted butter to the hazelnuts and pulse until combined. Press the hazelnut mixture into a tart pan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed along the bottom and up the sides. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until fragrant and golden brown.

Next, in a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until steaming but not boiling. Remove the cream from heat and stir in chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth. Add honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until well combined. Pour the chocolate filling into the hazelnut crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set. Once chilled, you can decorate the tart with additional hazelnuts or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and serve this Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart to enjoy a truly indulgent dessert experience.
