Hazelnut Tongues Recipe

An unexpected recipe, I had some cream to use, I thought of using it for a quick dessert and I must say it’s delicious!

Crunchy and creamy…When goodness calls

A dessert you can prepare the day before… The sizes are not miniature, just to give that sense of… Wow, how delicious!

The caramel also serves to create a right balance between sweet and bitter…That extra touch

The cream is very easy to prepare and requires no cooking.
