YUMMMM. just made this tonight, thought it was delicious!!!!! Saw a recipe on television today and couldn't quite remember it so I just winged it and it turned out GREAT! Preparation time is a total guess as I was doing other stuff in the kitchen aswell.

1. In a frying pan, put water on to boil and add sugar. Wait for it to start caramelising (should take 8 to 10 mins) and take of heat, quickly add the Hazelnuts, mix then lay out on a tray and wait for them to cool and set. Put baking paper under the tray so they don't stick.
2. When the Hazelnuts have cooled, wrap them in a teatowel or baking paper and bang them with a rolling pin or something (I used a wine bottle!) until they are all crushed up into little peices/crumbs, Set aside.
3. Cut Banana into slices and cook over a low heat with 1 tsp Vanilla Extract until soft and mushy. Set aside and cool.
4. Beat Egg Whites until they form soft peaks.
5. Into another bowl, add Cream, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract together, begin to whip cream until it starts to form soft peaks, don't beat further than this.
6. Gently fold together Egg Whites and Cream, add Banana and Hazelnuts.
7. Keep refridgerated and eat to your hearts content!
