This tart is an excellent choice for special occasions or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth. Follow our step-by-step guide to create this delectable treat in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour and 1/3 cup powdered sugar.
- Add 1/2 cup butter at room temperature and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Once well combined, press the mixture evenly into a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Prick the base with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt 1 cup dark chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before whisking in 3 eggs, one at a time, until smooth and well incorporated.
- Stir in 2 tbsp honey until the mixture is smooth and homogenized.
- Place 1/2 cup hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and, once cool, rub them in a kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
- In a saucepan, combine 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it turns a deep amber color.
- Quickly stir in the toasted hazelnuts and pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool fully and harden.
- Once hardened, break the praline into small pieces. You can pulse it in a food processor for a finer texture if desired.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the hazelnut praline pieces generously over the top of the chocolate filling.
- Place the tart in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once chilled and set, remove the tart from the refrigerator.
- Carefully remove the tart from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the hazelnuts before using them to enhance their natural flavor.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before serving to ensure the praline layer sets properly.
- For an added touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
