Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 100°C and line two trays with parchment.
  • Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, add sugar until stiff, and fold in hazelnuts.

  • Bake for 20 minutes, then leave in the turned-off oven for 2 hours to cool.
  • Melt and caramelize caster sugar in a pan until golden-brown.
  • Stir hazelnuts into the caramel to coat them thoroughly.
  • Pour onto a greased tray, let cool until set, then break into small pieces.
  • Whisk cream to soft peaks and fold in vanilla, coffee, icing sugar, and praline.
  • Heat cream, sugar, and butter in a pan, then whisk in syrup and treacle.
  • Stack three meringue discs per plate, layering with cream and sauce, and garnish with praline.
