Ingredients (serves 8):

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup hazelnut meal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, hazelnut meal, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of ice water, and mix until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of ice water.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, trimming any excess dough.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, hazelnuts, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well.
6. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
7. Pour the blackberry mixture into the tart crust, spreading it evenly. Pour the cream mixture over the top.
8. Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
9. Let the tart cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
