Tips:

  • To make the crust, you can use a food processor or a blender to grind the nuts and oats into a fine crumb. If you don't have either of those appliances, you can also use a rolling pin to crush the nuts and oats until they are finely ground.
  • When making the filling, be sure to use high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. The better the chocolate, the better the tart will be.
  • If you don't have any mixed nuts on hand, you can use any type of nuts that you like. Just be sure to use a variety of nuts to get a nice flavor.
  • When baking the tart, keep an eye on it so that it doesn't overcook. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be set but still slightly soft.
  • Once the tart is baked, let it cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the tart to set and make it easier to slice.

This mixed nut chocolate tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The crust is made with a combination of nuts and oats, and the filling is made with a rich and creamy chocolate ganache. This tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
