Cooking Instructions:

The crust:
1. In a bowl (or food processor to save time ) add flour, hazelnut oil and salt. Mix everything together, adding a little milk (not too much) to form a ball. Flatten the ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into two balls of equal size and spread thinly. Line 2 tartlet molds with the dough and prick with a fork. Blind bake for ten minutes at 430°F (220°C).

The filling:
1. Melt the milk chocolate with Nutella in a double boiler.
2. Spread the hazelnut puree on the bottom of each tart and cover everything with the melted chocolate and Nutella preparation.
3. Add chopped hazelnuts and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
4. Remove the tarts from the refrigerator fifteen minutes before serving.
