👩🍳 Procedure
First, separate the 3 eggs into two bowls, separating whites and yolks.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form with a few drops of lemon: this little trick will help you achieve perfect consistency.
In another bowl, whisk the yolks with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the flour, continuing to work with the electric whisk.
At this point, fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, incorporating them gently with movements from bottom to top. You should obtain a soft and homogeneous batter.
Spread the batter on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, forming a layer about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes: the base should be lightly golden and dry to the touch.Once baked, flip the batter onto a work surface and gently remove the parchment paper. Use a cutter to cut out 9 hearts.
Lightly brush 6 hearts with a little alchermes using a kitchen brush, then fill them with hazelnut cream.
Stack the hearts to form small towers, ending with an unbrushed and unfilled heart.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve: your Nutella hearts are ready.
