Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust:
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (packed) brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Filling and topping:
3 cups chilled whipping cream
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces imported milk chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Steps:

  • For crust:

Bake until filling moves only slightly in center when pan is shaken, about 55 minutes. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons water in small bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to soften. Set bowl in saucepan of simmering water and stir until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat. Using electric mixer, beat 1 cup chilled cream, powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon espresso powder in large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture. Spoon whipped cream over filling; smooth top. Chill until set, about 3 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.)
