Ingredients:

For 4 basis:

v  4 round wafer sheets

v  8 egg whites

v  270 g sugar

v  200 g ground hazelnuts

For the filling:

v  50 g cornstarch

v  2,5 dl milk

v  150 g powdered sugar

v  8 egg yolks

v  10 g vanilla sugar

v  150 g margarine

v  200 g chopped hazelnuts

v  2-3 packets of  cream

Preparation:

Base: beat the egg whites and sugar until stiff. Add hazelnuts and stir. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Coat evenly all four sheets of wafers with this mixture and bake for 30 min. If you don't have the possibility to bake all 4 sheets at the same time bake each sheet of wafer separately, one after another.

Filling: mix cornstarch with a little cold milk and add it to the remaining milk with sugar, egg yolks and vanilla sugar. Cook on steam stirring constantly.

Whip margarine until stiff and add it to a completely cooled filling; add chopped hazelnuts, too.

Coat each baked and cooled wafer sheet with this filling. Press the cake with a heavy plate and leave it in the fridge for an hour or two.

Garnish with whipped egg and sprinkle with finely chopped hazelnuts.
