Homemade Crust Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 9 inch tart pan with non stick spray and set aside.
- Using a food processor, pulse your hazelnuts, flour, sugar, and salt together until it reaches the consistency of coarse meal. (Reserve 1/4 cup of the nuts for topping.) Add the cubes of cold butter and pulse until the mixture turns into small crumbs.
- Transfer crust mixture into a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, slowly mix in 3 tbsp of ice water. Tightly press the dough evenly into your tart pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack so it can slightly cool as you prepare the filling. Turn off your oven.
Start here is using a store bought crust:
- Make your filling by whisking your cornstarch and ½ cup of heavy cream in a small bowl. To prevent clumping ensure you are constantly whisking as you add the cornstarch.
- Add your heavy cream, vanilla extract, Nutella, and salt into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add the cornstarch and cream mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps in the filling. Let the mixture thicken up for 2-3 minutes whisking constantly. Remove from your heat and continue whisking for 2 more minutes.
- Evenly pour your Nutella filling into your crust and smooth.
- Chill your tart in the fridge for at least 3 hours to let it set.
- Remove from your fridge, slice and enjoy!
