The Ingredients
80 g of any type of chocolate
150 g of butter
2 egg yolks
3 egg whites
100 g of hazelnuts
90 g of brown sugar
40 g of flour
10 g of cocoa powder

Preparation
Step 1 :
We melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie, adding the salt. So far, so good, nothing too complicated! And for those who prefer to keep it simple, you can use the microwave with just a splash of water, it works too, you know…
Step 2 :
Next, we focus on the eggs. First, we whisk the yolks with half of the brown sugar. In other words: we beat them until they look nice and creamy!
Mix vigorously until the mixture thickens and turns pale. Then, whip the egg whites and add the other half of the sugar to make a meringue.Check out this post on Instagram
