Hazelnut Latte Trifles
- 200 ml * Milk
- 25 grams * Granulated sugar
- 2 * Egg yolks
- 5 grams * Cake flour
- 10 grams * Unsalted butter
- 30 grams Whole skinned hazelnuts
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 1/2 of a sheet cake Sponge cake (storebought is fine)
- 2 tsp Instant coffee powder
- 1 Coffee liqueur
- Make the custard cream.
- Mix the granulated sugar amount marked with an * and the egg yolk very well.
- Add the cake flour and mix it in well too.
- Warm up the milk until it's bubbling lightly, and add it to the Step 1 mix.
- Stir quickly.
- Pour the mixture back into the pan through a strainer.
- Cook over high heat while mixing continously with a spatula.
- When it starts to bubble, lower the heat to medium, and keep mixing without pausing.
- When the custard is cooked through thoroughly, add the butter.
- Transfer the custard to a shallow tray, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and cool over a bowl of ice water.
- Chop up the hazelnuts roughly.
- Put 50 g of granulated sugar in a pan, and cook over medium heat until the sugar melts.
- When it has completely melted and has started to color, add the hazelnuts.
- Keep cooking over medium heat while coating the hazelnuts with the sugar.
- When it all turns a caramel color, take the pan off the heat and spread out onto a baking sheet while it's still hot.
- Leave to cool.
- When the hazelnuts have cooled and the caramel has hardened, put it all into a thick plastic bag, and bash it lightly with a rolling pin.
- Cut the sponge cake into 2 1cm thick slices, and cut them out with the glasses you'll be using.
- Soak them in coffee liqueur (use as much as you like).
- Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, and divide into 3 portions.
- Divide the custard cream into 2 portions.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of the caramelized hazelnuts into one portion with 1/3 of the whipped cream.
- Add the instant coffee and 1/3 of the whipped cream to the other half and mix.
- Layer the Step 9, 11 and 12 mixture in any order you like in the glasses.
- End with a layer of whipped cream, which is reminiscent of the foamy milk on lattes.
- Top with the remaining caramelized hazelnuts.
