I first made this recipe for a church function which was called “Broadway and Chocolate”. Members of the choir performed Broadway melodies and during several intermissions, you submitted tickets which entitled you to a plate of various chocolate desserts which had been made by the church members. It was a great fundraiser. That was 7 years ago and still this recipe stands the test of time…I just made it today! Served with a very good vanilla ice cream makes it even better. Keep the slices small as it is quite rich!!!
Chocolate Nut Tart
Makes: One large tart Total Time: 1 hour (can be made ahead)
what you need
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 1 T chilled butter in 1/2″ pieces
- 2 T whipping cream
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 c toasted whole almonds (4 oz)

make it
Cookie Crust – Combine flour and sugar in processor. Cut in the butter using on/off motion. Add whipping cream and vanilla. On/off motion until moist clumps. Add more cream if too dry. Press dough over bottom and up sides of 11″ diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Let stand for 30 minutes. (I think you could also just do these as bars in a square pan).
Filling -Combine all nuts in food processor. Chop coarsely. Whisk syrup, sugar and butter in large bowl. Add eggs and extracts. Mix in chocolate chips. Add nuts. Transfer into crust.
Bake at 350 degrees about 40-50 minutes.
Buen provecho...2022 
Wow, sounds wonderful! Any idea where to find hazelnuts here?
Yeppers I buu them at Superama. They are called avellana and are near the produce aisle as you come around the end and see the chilled salad dressings! They also carry the corn syrup and chocolate chips!
