  5. Gently fold the heavy cream into the fruit mixture.
  6. Refrigerate for several hours.
  7. For the hazelnut florentine cups: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until they resemble fine crumbs.

  11. Bring to boil.
  12. Remove from the heat and add the ground hazelnuts, and flour.

  15. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until brown around the edges and lace-like in appearance.

  17. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  18. Transfer to wire rack.
  19. Place chocolate chips in a small bowl.
  20. Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, and stir until the chips are melted.

  22. Allow the chocolate to dry.
  23. To finish: Place a large spoonful of the fool into each florentine cup.
