Festive Chocolate Tart ~ step by step

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced.
In a food processor, blend roasted hazelnuts and pecans finely.
Add sugar and cinnamon and pulse to combine.
Add melted butter until the nuts become a sandy texture.
Brush your tart tin with melted butter or spray with cooking oil lightly.
Bake in oven for 18 minutes until golden brown. Let cool, then place in fridge for 20 minutes before completing the ganache.
Bring to a gentle simmer the thickened cream and pour over chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Let stand untouched for 5 minutes.
With a spatula stir through butter and orange juice until silky.
Pour ganache into cold tart tin and pop bubbles with the ganache spatula.
Refrigerate for at least an hour uncovered, then decorate with Ferrero Rocher, chocolate curls and candied hazelnuts to taste.
TIP

Use a heated knife to slice the tart for serving.
