method
1. Toast hazelnuts evenly, cool, then grind coarsely in a coffee grinder.
2. Mix with breadcrumbs and demerara sugar in a bowl.
3. Tip crumb mixture onto a baking sheet and spread out evenly.
4. Grill under medium hot grill, turning and shaking, until brown. Leave to cool.
5. Whisk egg whites in a large bowl, until stiff. Sprinkle in sugar and whisk for a further 2 minutes.
6. In a separate bowl, whip cream with vanilla essence to soft peaks, then fold into egg whites with all but 1 tablespoon of breadcrumb mixture.
This mixture makes a delicious ice cream; simply turn the finished cream into a plastic container and freeze.
