Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup of hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned; then let cool and chop roughly.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter and the toasted chopped hazelnuts. Press the mixture evenly into 12 mini tart pans or a mini muffin tin, creating firm crusts. Bake for 8 minutes until set, then cool completely.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 6 oz dark chocolate chips and 2 tbsp hazelnut spread until smooth and glossy.
  4. Step 4: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly into the cooled tartlet shells. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until the ganache is firm. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top before serving.
