Press gently into a tart pan. Stick in the freezer while the oven heats. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until a light golden brown.

Filling
In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the chocolate. Let sit for three minutes, then whisk till smooth. Stir in the butter, hazelnut emulsion, and liqueur.


Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart and let cool. Once the chocolate is completely cooled and set, sprinkle the top with unsweetened cocoa powder to serve, let the tart soften slightly at room temperature.
