For the crust
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups flour
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt

Step 4: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the toasted, chopped hazelnuts evenly over the top.
Step 5: Chill for at least 2 hours or until set. Slice and serve the delicious heavenly chocolate hazelnut tart.
