Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of hazelnuts
• 1/2 cup of shelled pistachios
• 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 pre-made pie crust

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

Spread the hazelnuts and pistachios on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden

Remove from the oven and let them cool

Once the nuts have cooled, rub them between your hands or in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skins from the hazelnuts as possible

Place the hazelnuts and pistachios in a food processor and pulse until finely ground

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it begins to simmer

Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and melted

Add the ground nuts, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture

Stir until well combined

Pour the chocolate ganache mixture into the pre-made pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula

Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until the ganache has set

Before serving, garnish with extra chopped pistachios and hazelnuts if desired

Slice, serve, and enjoy
