Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1 cup of hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool, then chop coarsely.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and the toasted chopped hazelnuts. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Chill while preparing filling.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup hazelnut spread and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, sprinkle 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes over the tart to enhance the flavor contrast.
