Chocolate Tart Ingredients

Method

Directions for Chocolate Tart

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the butter and mix until crumbly. Add the egg yolks and mix until dough forms. Press into a tart pan and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until set. Allow it to cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate, stirring until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Bake for another 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Hazelnut Praline

    In a skillet, toast the hazelnuts until golden. In a saucepan, melt sugar until caramelized. Add hazelnuts, mix, and spread on parchment paper to cool. Once hardened, chop into pieces.

  6. 6

    Make the Cinnamon Crumble

    In a bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Mix until crumbly. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the tart is cool, top with hazelnut praline and cinnamon crumble before serving.
