- 3 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts

- 1 tablespoon hazelnut-flavored liqueur

directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a bowl, add the melted butter, Graham cracker crumbs, hazelnuts and sugar. Stir until smooth.
- Use tart pans with removable bottoms OR large ramekins (4 1/4" in diameter).
- Press the mixture into 4 tart pans and bake for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the cream in a saucepan over low heat until steam starts to form.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth. Chocolate must melt completely.
- Add the hazelnut liqueur and stir.
- Set aside, keep at room temperature.
- When the tart shells are ready, remove from them from the oven and immediately cover the bottom with the brie cheese slices, so that the cheese will melt.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the melted cheese and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before unmoulding.
- Cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- To unmould, run a knife around the edge of the tart and detach the tarts.
- Sift some powdered cocoa over top before serving, if using.

One of my favourite thing to do is to copy recipes. It is so relaxing and fun. I enjoy Asian food, especially spicy dishes and love desserts. A well made and beautifully presented cakes is a joy to look at and savoury dishes, curries and spicy stir-fries are yummy!!
