This dessert looks like it takes a lot of time to prepare but it is actually very easy! I like to serve it with vanilla or coffee ice cream.—Gilda Lester, Millsboro, Delaware

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chocolate syrup

1 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Whipped cream and chocolate shavings, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and lemon peel until creamy. Beat in flour just until combined.
Shape dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
Roll dough into an 11-in. circle. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, chocolate syrup and corn syrup. Pour into crust. Combine hazelnuts and chocolate chips; sprinkle over filling. Place pan on a baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until center is almost set (center will set when cool). Cool on a wire rack.
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

Didn't have a tart pan so used a 9" Springform pan, running crust up the sides. Also used pecans, not toasted, instead of hazelnuts. Turned out FANTASTIC!! A HUGE hit with all guests!!

This is a great and easy recipe. I did not have a tart pan and ended up making it a pie, of which the bake time was longer. If you make a pie be sure to spray you pie plate with Bakers Secret or something comparable. Excellent pie for even the fussiest choco-holic!!!

This is a lovely finish to a meal. The crust dough needs to rest a little longer than 30 mins, mine was still way to soft. But all up, very nice and I will make again.
