No-Bake Dark Chocolate Nutella Tart
Ingredients
Tart Base:
- 150 gm digestive biscuits
- 100 gm butter
- 20 gm unsweetened cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
Nutella Filling:
- 200 gm Nutella
- 200 gm heavy cream
- 250 gm dark chocolate
- toasted hazelnuts (Optional: For garnish)
- gold leaf (Optional: For garnish)
Instructions
To make the tart crust
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor till crumbed. Melt the butter, and stir in the cocoa powder and salt.
- Once the mixture is slightly cooled, add in the crumbed biscuits and mix well. The consistency should resemble wet sand.
- Use your fingers to press the mixture into a 7-inch tart pan. Use the bottom of a glass or a spatula, to press and secure the mix in an even layer, if needed.
- Once done, place in the fridge to set for three hours.
For the Nutella filling
- Place the dark chocolate, Nutella and heavy cream in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Use a spatula to mix well till you achieve a smooth, lump-free and glossy filling. (You can also add chopped toasted hazelnuts to the filling for a special crunch).
- Pour the filling into the chilled tart pan and place it back into the fridge to set for at least four to five hours.
- Once the tart has set, garnish with hazelnuts or gold leaf if desired, and serve immediately.
