Method

Step 1 of 6

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place hazelnuts into a shallow baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until skins split. Transfer to a clean tea towel, wrap and leave for 2 minutes. Rub hazelnuts vigorously to loosen skins. Discard skins, transfer nuts to a bowl and cool.

Step 2 of 6

Meanwhile, line a 6-cup loaf tin with a double layer of plastic wrap, leaving sides to overhang.

Step 3 of 6

Reserve one-third of the nuts and process remainder in a small food processor until coarsely chopped. Transfer half of the processed nuts to a bowl. Continue to process remainder until very finely chopped. Transfer to same bowl.

Step 4 of 6

Beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla together using electric beaters until pale and thick. Fold in chocolate, cream and processed nuts. Using a clean bowl and beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into mixture.

Step 5 of 6

Transfer to loaf tin, smooth top and cover with excess plastic. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Step 6 of 6

Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Wipe outside of loaf tin with a hot wet cloth. Carefully turn loaf out onto a serving platter. Top with extra chocolate, reserved nuts and grapes, then slice and serve immediately.
