Directions
1

Sweet pastry: Mix the butter, powdered sugar, and almond flour (to a sandy texture). Then add the room-temperature eggs and liquid vanilla. Finish the mixture with the flour and fine salt.

2

Creamy Caribbean: Bring the milk, cream, and candy to a boil. Add the egg yolks and cook like a custard. Pour over the chocolate in several stages. Blend with a hand mixer (at the bottom) to remove the air. Store.

3

Crunchy: Mix gently cold. Store.

4

Black icing: Cook the sugar and glucose to 114°C, then deglaze with cream and cocoa. Bring to a boil again, then add the previously soaked gelatin and the glaze. Store.

5

Hazelnuts with Sugar: In a saucepan, pour the sugar. Heat to 160°C, then pour over the hazelnuts in a bowl, mixing well. Return to the saucepan and caramelize. Store.

6

Final steps: Line the sweet pastry, dock it, bake at 150°C, cool down. Brush the tart (inside) with coating chocolate.

7

To finish, line with the crunchy layer, sprinkle with roughly chopped roasted hazelnuts, then pour the creamy filling, let it cool, and glaze with the dark icing. Decorate with a few sugar-coated hazelnuts.
