Yield Makes 1 torte

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipeHazelnut Praline
3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped coarse
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream
2 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur)

Steps:

  • In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together butter, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla. Stir in praline chocolate mixture (mixture will be very thick).
  • In another bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until foamy and add a pinch salt and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a steam, beating until meringue just holds stiff peaks. Fold one third meringue into yolk mixture to lighten and fold in remaining meringue gently but thoroughly. Pour batter into pan and smooth top.
  • Bake tort in middle of oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until it begins to pull away from side of pan. Cool torte in pan on a rack (torte will fall slightly and continue to set as it cooks) and remove from pan. Torte may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring torte to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Freshness Matters: Prioritize using the freshest hazelnuts and cream for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Toasting Technique: Toasting hazelnuts enhances their nutty flavor. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Hazelnut Paste Perfection: To achieve a smooth and creamy hazelnut paste, blend the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor until they reach a fine, almost liquid consistency.
  • Temperature Control: Keep the heavy cream and beaters chilled before whipping. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better.
  • Gradual Incorporation: Gradually add the hazelnut paste to the whipped cream while continuing to whip. This prevents the paste from overpowering the cream and ensures even distribution.
  • Flavor Enhancers: Consider adding a touch of vanilla extract or powdered sugar to complement the hazelnut flavor and enhance the overall taste of the whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Hazelnut whipped cream is a versatile and delectable topping that elevates desserts and beverages alike. By following these tips and carefully executing the recipe, you can create a smooth, flavorful, and visually appealing hazelnut whipped cream that will impress your taste buds and leave you craving more.
