| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Whole hazelnuts; roasted, then |
| Finely chopped | |
| 7 ounces | Bittersweet chocolate |
| 3 tablespoons | Water |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 2 teaspoons | Vanilla |
| 8 ounces | Cream cheese; softened |
| ⅓ cup | Hazelnut liqueur or extract |
| 1 teaspoon | Heavy whipping cream |
| ¼ cup | Sugar |

Roast whole hazelnuts in the oven to bring out the flavor. Remove the skins and chop. Set aside. Melt chocolate in microwave or over double boiler.
Make a simple syrup by stirring together 3 tablespoons water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla in a heavy saucepan. Add to chocolate and bring just to a boil over low heat. Remove saucepan from heat and fold in 8 ounces cream cheese, ⅓ cup hazelnut liqueur or extract, and 1 cup hazelnuts. Set aside to cool. Whip 1 pint heavy whipping cream, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until stiff. Fold the cooled chocolate mixture and all but a few tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture gently together, being careful not to over-mix. Pour into individual serving cups.
Garnish with remaining whipped cream and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.
