Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of crushed graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly. Pour in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Form the Tartlet Shells

  • Press the crust mixture firmly into mini tartlet pans or a muffin tin, making sure to pack it tightly and evenly along the bottom and up the sides to create a sturdy shell. Place the shells in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Make the Nutella Filling

  • In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of Nutella with 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Fill the Tartlets

  • Remove the tartlet shells from the fridge and spoon the Nutella filling into each shell, smoothing the tops with a spatula for a clean finish.

Add the Hazelnut Topping

  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts over the filling, pressing down slightly so they adhere but still provide a satisfying crunch.

Chill and Serve

  • Return the tartlets to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly. Once chilled, carefully remove the tartlets from their molds and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mini Tartlet Pans or Muffin Tin
  • Spatula or Spoon

Notes

  • For an extra glossy finish, gently heat a little Nutella and drizzle it over the tartlets before adding chopped hazelnuts.
  • Use a food processor to crush the graham crackers finely for a smoother crust texture.
  • Chilling the tartlets overnight enhances flavor melding and ensures a clean slice when serving.
