Press gently into a tart pan. Stick in the freezer while the oven heats. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until a light golden brown.

Filling
In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the chocolate. Let sit for three minutes, then whisk till smooth. Stir in the butter, hazelnut emulsion, and liqueur.


Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart and let cool. Once the chocolate is completely cooled and set, sprinkle the top with unsweetened cocoa powder to serve, let the tart soften slightly at room temperature.


Serve very thin slices as this is a rich, decadent dessert.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
