Nutella is best eaten with a spoon, but try turning it into a more formal dessert appropriate to serve to guests, a chocolate hazelnut tart.
Sometimes I avoid recipes with hazelnuts because they’re such a pain to peel.
Toasting them in the oven and using a towel to rub off their brown skins just doesn’t work that well.
After some research, I found out that the best way to do it is to boil the nuts in a combination of water and baking soda for a few minutes.
After shocking them in cold water, the skins peel right off. If only I knew this sooner, I wouldn’t have put off this chocolate hazelnut tart.
I love nutella so much that I think it’s best when you eat it with a spoon, but that’s not a dessert you really can serve guests.
This tart transforms the perfect combination of chocolate and hazelnuts into something a bit more formal.
While the tart shell was in the oven, I infused heavy cream with finely chopped nuts.
Then I whisked together the flavored cream with melted milk and semisweet chocolates.
I couldn’t wait for it to finish chilling in the refrigerator.
