Ingredients

  • 1 shortcrust pastry
  • Nutella
  • 250 g dessert chocolate
  • 25 cl fresh cream

Preparation

As a pastry expert with years of experience crafting irresistible desserts, here's how to make this crowd-pleasing chocolate pie. Line a tart mold with the shortcrust pastry. Cover with parchment paper weighted down with small pebbles or dried pulses, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12 minutes. Remove the paper and weights at the end to crisp and brown the crust.

While the shell cools, prepare a luscious chocolate ganache using the chocolate and crème fraîche—follow our trusted ganache recipe for perfect results every time.

Once cooled, transfer the pie shell to a serving dish. Spread a generous layer of Nutella on the bottom, adjusting thickness to your taste for that signature hazelnut indulgence.

Pour the cooled ganache over the top and refrigerate until set.
