You know that classic combination between chocolate and hazelnut, which makes everything taste like Nutella and Ferrero Rocher and that turns even the most grumpy guy of the group into the most smiling and friendly person? The recipe that I share with you today brings all that and more! It brings the flavor, brings the texture and brings the creaminess that no one can resist!
I’ve made a few recipes with chocolate and hazelnuts and of them all, without a doubt, this is my favorite! First, because they are mini tarts and you can’t avoid to drool over these cuties. Then because the balance between chocolate and hazelnut flavors is on point. And finally, because never has a filling been so perfectly creamy!
I don’t even say anything else because I want to transport you right away to the recipe so you can make it today!
EASY | QUICK | NO OVEN | CREAMY | GLUTEN FREE | FLOUR FREE | ELEGANT | SEXY | IRRESISTIBLE
They say a picture worth more than a thousand words and in this case I couldn’t agree more! These chocolate and hazelnut tartlets are everything they seem, and maybe even a little more!
Hazelnut is the queen of the recipe, from the base to the filling, the hazelnut is what brings all the magic to these little tartlets.
For the base I used crushed toasted hazelnut and for the filling I used hazelnut butter. Pay attention to the choice of hazelnut butter when making this and other recipes with this ingredient. The texture and composition of the butter make all the difference in the final result.
In this recipe I used Bett’r Hazelnut Butter, a butter made 100% with organic roasted hazelnuts, without any other added ingredients like oils or sugars. What I like most about this butter is its super thin and fluid texture. I’ve never seen one like it at this level. It’s perfect to incorporate into any recipe, and it worked beautifully in the filling of these pies.
For this recipe you don’t need an oven, it’s all done with the food processor, put in the individual pie tins, fridge and that’s it!
And if you’ve been invited to a party at a friend’s house and you’re the one who has to bring dessert, don’t think any more and take these tartlets that are going to be a hit! You still earn the title of friend with the most talent in the kitchen!
