Ingredients:
Crust:
- 2/3 cup hazelnuts
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Filling:
- 2-1/4 cups dark chocolate chopped
- 1-1/2 tbsp corn syrup
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened (for filling)
- 1-3/4 cups whipping cream
Instructions:
- To prepare crust: Preheat over to 350F. In a food processor or mixer, combine hazelnuts, sugar, flour, and 1/2 cup + 2tbsp butter and blend until mixture is smooth like peanut butter. In a 10-in cake pan with parchment paper, pour crust mixture evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
- For filling: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine chocolate, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup butter and set aside. In a saucepan on medium-high, heat whipping cream until bubbles form on outer edges, then remove from heat and add to chocolate mixture. With a whisk, stir until mixture becomes smooth and silky. Once crust is finished baking, remove from oven, pour chocolate mixture into crust, and let it set for 4 hours (or overnight is best).
