just to a boil over low heat. Remove saucepan from heat and fold in 8
ounces cream cheese, 1/3 cup hazelnut liqueur or extract, and 1 cup
hazelnuts. Set aside to cool. Whip 1 pint heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup
sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until stiff. Fold the cooled chocolate
mixture and all but a few tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture gently
together, being careful not to over-mix. Pour into individual serving cups.
Garnish with remaining whipped cream and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.
