Are you ready for this? You might want to sit down for this one if you’re not already. Because we’re about to get into some serious chocolate decadence.
Vegan chocolate hazelnut tart. aka a crispy oat & hazelnut crust filled with luscious chocolate and hazelnut ganache and topped off with roasted hazelnuts. aka the way to my heart.
That’s right friends, we just went there.
This vegan chocolate hazelnut tart is essentially like eating a pie filled with creamy homemade Nutella. And I’m no stranger to loving some homemade nutella!
How to make a tart crust:
The key to making a perfect chocolate tart all starts off with a great crust.
Today we’re using One Degree O
If you’re not familiar with One Degree Organics, they offer all organic products, (as you may have guessed from the name), they source their products from farmers who only used plant-based farming methods, and they believe in total transparency too. I love how you can scan the QR codes on the back of all of their products and actually get to meet the farmers and learn about where they source their ingredients, how amazing is that?
I love using their products in my recipes for that reason and I can rest easy knowing that the ingredients I’m using are both good for me and the environment.
The next important step in making a tart crust is having some oil and a sticky sweetener to help bind the crust together. The mixture should be crumbly but stick together when you press it between your fingers.
The crust then gets baked off until it’s nice and golden brown and then it’s ready to be filled!
How to make chocolate ganache:
Chocolate ganache is made by combining equal amounts of cream and chocolate. Today we’re using coconut cream in the recipe to keep this tart vegan, and we’re also adding some hazelnut butter to make this into a hazelnut ganache.
The trick to getting a nice and creamy ganache is to melt the chocolate slowly in the coconut milk so it melts evenly and doesn’t burn.
You can also make the ganache in a microwave, just make sure to set your microwave to half power to prevent the chocolate from burning.
A few notes on the recipe:
This vegan chocolate ganache tart is made with hazelnut flour, hazelnut butter and roasted hazelnuts. If you don’t have hazelnut flour on hand, you can substitute it with some homemade hazelnut meal. (Make this by grinding hazelnuts until they resemble a flour) You can also skip out on the hazelnut butter in the filling if you prefer a plain chocolate ganache.
I use a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom to make this recipe. I’d definitely recommend a pan with a removable bottom to make it easy to remove the tart.
Leftovers of this recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or even be stored in the freezer. (This tart tastes REAL GOOD frozen too!)

Notes
When pressing the filling into the tart pan, I like to start by pressing the filling around the edges of the pan, and then work my way to the middle of the pan.
I use this tart pan with a removable bottom for this recipe.

My coconut, chocolate combo is insisting on staying liquid, I’ve used exact measurements, any ideas please?
Hi Elaine, what type of coconut milk did you use? It should be full-fat canned coconut milk and should be quite thick of a mixture.
Do you use homemade hazelnut butter? If not, can you please say which brand you use? Thank you!
Hi Debra! I use store bought from nuts to you nut butter
Hi! Where is the speckled plate from pls?!
Hi Michelle, sorry i don’t remember where i got these!
Does the coconut come through in the tart at all?
Not really. Unless you’re extremely sensitive to coconut flavour you probably won’t even notice it’s made with cococu!!
1 14 oz? how much is it in ml? Thank you
Hi there, you can use a measure converter online to help you out with any conversions like that. Just search “14oz in ml” 🙂
Hi! Do you use raw or roasted hazelnut butter? Thanks!
roasted is best 🙂
Thank you!! It was such a hit!! Everyone was so impressed!
So happy you enjoyed Crystal!
Out of this world!!!
So happy you like it :)!
I’m allergic to coconut, what could I replace milk with?
Hi Stephanie, the only other replacement you could use would be real cream if your okay to eat dairy.
I can’t wait to try this! Will it work it I don’t add the hazelnut butter? Or what else could I use if I don’t have that/don’t want to make a little quantity?
Hi Vee, you can use any type of nut butter as a substitution!
Hi! What is 1 14 oz can (coconut milk)?
Hi Milou, it’s a standard size can of coconut milk!
Do we use only the cream of it, or the water part too?
This looks incredible. Thanks for sharing. Any recommendations on ways to sub the oats for a grain-free alternative?
Hi Danielle! You can sub oats with just some more hazelnut flour or some almond flour!
My girlfriend made this last night for dessert and we both loved it so much. Thank you for the recipe!
Thanks Ben! So happy you both enjoyed the recipe!
Tarts wouldn’t be my first go-to for dessert. However, chocolate and hazelnuts are one of my favorite combinations for desserts–who doesn’t love Nutella? This tart looks magnificent! I think I’d just become super addicted to the filling alone, using it as a frosting and such!
Same for me Cassie!
Looks incredible! Can I may be use coconut sugar instead of maple syrup?
Hi Natasha, I believe coconut sugar should work just fine!
HEAVEN in a tart shell! ?
Thanks Lucy!!
Such a picture-perfect tart Jess! The texture seems incredible! Dee xx
Thank you so much Dee!
Can you make this work any other nur? It looks delicious but my husband is allergic to hazelnuts.
Hi Annika! You can really use any type of nuts you like. Walnuts would be great 🙂

Thanks so much Ela!
