Method
1. Heat the oven to 100C/80C fan/gas ¼ and line two baking trays with non-stick parchment.2. Put the nuts in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped, taking care not to over-grind them.
3. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is lifted from the bowl. Whisk in half the sugar and continue whisking until the egg whites become thick and glossy. Gradually whisk in the rest of the sugar.
4. Using a teaspoon, spoon 12 small heaps of meringue onto the parchment paper. Bake for about 1 hour, until crisp. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
5. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
6. Dip the flat side of each meringue in the chocolate and then dip in the chopped hazelnuts. Leave to set on the wire rack.
7. Whisk the cream with the icing sugar until thick. Use this to sandwich the meringues together.

I have this recipe from the BBC Good Food Magazine and this online version is wrong. The recipe makes 12 meringues that are sandwiched together with cream, so you need to spoon 24 heaps of meringue onto baking paper. I also needed 100g of chocolate to coat them all. Other than that, the recipe is really good.
