We have a great recipe for you for a super chocolate treat that will delight all those with a sweet tooth. The hazelnut base will give wonderful nutty flavors, while the chocolate cream will be the main element of this pie. If you use dark chocolate, the pie will be a little more rustic, and with milk chocolate, it will be sweeter. To contrast the strong chocolate, add whipped cream or coconut milk on top.
