2 oz Whole hazelnuts (1), roasted

4 oz Caster sugar
4 oz Butter
5 Eggs, separated
4 oz Chocolate, grated (use the

-------------------------DECORATION------------------------------
1/3 qt Double cream, lightly
-- whipped

Butter a bowl and line with the roasted and chopped nuts (1). Mix
caster sugar and butter, add egg yolks slowly. Add grated chocolate
and ground nuts (2). Beat egg whites until stiff and gently fold into
mixture. Turn into the lined bowl. Cover with a double layer of
greaseproof paper with a folded pleat down the centre and tie firmly
with string. A double strip of kitchen foil laid under the bowl and
projecting up the sides will make lifting it out easier. Place bowl

over some of the lightly whipped cream. Serve the remaining cream
