- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 70 min
- Makes: 1 serving (111 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 25 g Egg whites, raw
- 25 g Sugar
- 20 g Hazelnuts

- 15 g Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
- 5 g Flour, all-purpose

- Beat the butter until fluffy, then gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until light and smooth.
