To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 2 cups gingersnap crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

- 2 cups hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs and melted butter, stirring until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using your fingers or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Next, prepare the filling. In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until finely ground. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the ground hazelnuts, flour, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Allow the torte to cool completely before slicing and serving.
