About

You can’t actually see pieces of bacon in this dessert, but one bite and you’ll know it’s there. It lends its salty bite and crunch to the crust, and its rendered fat adds smokiness to the rich, creamy chocolate filling.

Ingredients

For the Tart

¾ cup (100 g) skin-on hazelnuts
5 thin slices crisp cooked

Dessert

Method

Make the tart: In a food processor, combine the hazelnuts, bacon, sugar, and ½ teaspoon of the salt and pulse a few times to coarsely chop. Add the flour and pulse until the nuts and bacon are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the dough just comes together. Lightly butter a 9-inch (23-cm) tart pan or three 4-inch (10-cm) mini tart pans with a removable bottom or spray with nonstick
