Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon Hazelnuts finely ground
  • 6 tablespoon Sugar
  • 6 tablespoon Butter unsalted, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 12 ounces Bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups Heavy cream plus extra for whipping, optional
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Raspberries for garnish, optional

Preparation

Oven Temp: 350F / 175C / Gas Mark 4

1. Preheat oven. Combine salt, nuts, sugar and flour. Cut in butter with knives or your fingers until you achieve a sandy texture (alternately, do this in a food processor).

2. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool completely.

3. Put chocolate in a bowl large enough to accomodate the rest of the ingredients. Bring cream to a boil, then pour over chocolate. Stir until completely combined, then add vanilla.

4. Pour mixture into the tart shell. Allow to set at room temperature for about 2 hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream and/or raspberries.

This turned out great. I used pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour, and as a result the crust mix didn't turn out "sandy"-- I had to add a couple of tablespoons of cold water to firm it up. The unsweetened chocolate filling is really great, and the hazelnut flavor in the crust really comes through.

On the side I served small pools of raspberry coulis and crème anglaise.

I agree ... this is a great photo! The teacup as a backdrop was a great idea. I've added this to my favourites because it sounds amazing.
