Whisk filling with Stainless Whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth. Place hazelnuts in Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave; uncovered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring every 30 seconds. Coarsely chop nuts using Food Chopper; set aside.

  3. To assemble tart, spread melted morsels over crust using Small Spreader; sprinkle with half of the nuts. Spread filling over crust; top with remaining nuts.
