1. The day before, preheat the oven to 180Β°C/gas
mark 6. Toast the hazelnuts on a pie tin until they
begin to release a delicious aroma (that all sounds
great doesnβt it?).
2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl placed over a saucepan
of simmering water (bain-marie). Turn off the
heat and add the butter.
3. While the mixture cools, cut 6 circles of greaseproof
paper, the same diameter as the cake tins.
Grease them well and stick the paper circles to the
bottoms. Then grease the paper. Place the tins in
the freezer.
4. Add the flour to the chocolate mix before adding
the hazelnuts (which you will have ground in a
food processor first) and the egg yolks.
5. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually add the
sugar using a whisk. Stir into the dough.
6. Pour approx. 2cm of dough into the tins and freeze
for 1 hour. Place the remaining dough in the fridge.
7. Place one praline on the frozen dough, cover with
the remaining dough and freeze overnight.
8. Turn the oven to 180Β°C/gas mark 6. Place the
frozen preparations in the oven and bake for 30
minutes.
9. Remove from oven, turn out while still hot and enjoy
immediately. And that's an order!
