Instructions

Prepare the crust by mixing flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cream cheese, and butter until smooth. Add egg yolk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough into a tart pan and bake for about 35 minutes.
For the filling, whisk eggs with sugar and cornstarch. Heat milk and gradually add it to the egg mixture while whisking.
Return mixture to heat until thickened; then mix in butter, cream, and praliné paste until smooth.
Bake the flan in the crust for about 45 minutes or until set. Cool completely at room temperature.
Make caramelized hazelnuts by heating sugar and water until caramelized; coat hazelnuts and cool on parchment paper.
Create ganache by heating cream and mixing in chocolate until smooth.
Pour ganache over cooled flan and top with caramelized hazelnuts before chilling.
