Chocolate Hazelnut Tart (Nutella Tart)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease the base and sides of a 9" tart tin with some oil or vegan butter. Add all of the crust ingredients to your food processor and blitz until the ingredients stick together to form a dough. If needed, add a tablespoon of water to get the mixture sticking.

Step 2

Evenly press the dough into the base and sides of the tart tin and use a fork to prick several holes into the base. Bake the crust for 15 minutes until slightly browned, then allow to cool (do not remove the tart from the tin).

Step 3

Melt the chocolate over a double boiler (bain-marie). Add the silken tofu, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt to a blender and blitz for a minute or so until creamy. Add in the melted chocolate and blend again for a couple of minutes until completely smooth.

Step 4

Pour the filling into the tart shell and use a spatula to smooth it out. To get the swirl effect on top, place the tart tin on top of a turntable, and use your spatula to make a swirl print on the surface of the cake whilst spinning the turntable. Place in the fridge to set for 2 hours (or overnight if preferred).

Step 5

Once set, remove the tart from the tin. Garnish with some grated chocolate, chopped hazelnuts and edible flowers if desired.

Step 6

Store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within a 5 days.
