Hazelnut Brownie Tart With Nutella Ganache

• For the tart:
• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into large pieces
• 3 cups of dark chocolate chips, divided
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
• For the Nutella ganache:
• 1/3 cup Nutella
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Chopped hazelnuts for garnish (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet (this makes it easier to move in and out of the oven) and set aside.
2. To prepare the tart, combine the butter and 2 cups of chocolate chips in a bowl placed over simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
3. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, sugar, instant espresso, and vanilla on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gently stir in the chocolate.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, chopped hazelnuts, and the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes. The center of the tart will puff up and be just set. The top may crack a bit, but the inside will still be soft and chewy. Cool the tart completely before removing from the tart pan.
5. To prepare the ganache, combine the Nutella and chocolate chips in a small mixing bowl. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Pour the hot cream down over the Nutella and chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth.
6. Once the tart is cooled, spread the ganache over the top of the tart. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts, if desired.
