Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan.

6. Stir in the vanilla extract and hazelnuts. Pour the mixture into the cooled tart crust.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.
8. Serve chilled and garnish with additional toasted hazelnuts, if desired.
