Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Tart

This week the ALPHA BAKERS are making (Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse tart) This is great for hazelnut lovers!!! , Rose Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse tart is easy to understand and follow, I had no Frangelico hazelnut liqueur so I used Pisa liqueur for the ganache and the taste was good , I didn’t make the swirl with the ganache because it was getting firmer very quickly , you have to work very quickly to make the swirl.
It's a delightful, and also melts in your mouth, absolutely amazing delicious treat tart, and great when family comes over or a special occasion, I would make this again indeed!!!!

Thank you Marie for asking me back to the group..
