How to Serve Nutella Tart
Ideally, Nutella Tart is best served chilled. Slice it into wedges and serve as a standalone dessert. For a richer taste, pair it with your favourite ice cream or a cup of hot coffee.
How to Store Nutella Tart
With its creamy filling, it is best to store your Nutella Tart in the refrigerator. Simply cover it in cling film or aluminium foil to keep it fresh. Enjoy it within 3-4 days for the best taste.
Tips to Make Nutella Tart
1. Make sure to press the crust mixture sufficiently to avoid it falling apart when serving.
2. Allow enough cooling time before adding the Nutella filling to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
3. Evenly spread the Nutella mixture to ensure a balanced bite every time.
Variation (if any)
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust. Vegan? Substitute Nutella with a vegan chocolate spread and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
