*Hazelnuts from Oregon--where virtually all the U.S. crop grows--taste much sweeter and fresher than imports. Find them in bulk bins in grocery stores (check the country of origin) and at freddyguys.com, hazelnuthill.com, or yournw.com. This dessert contains raw eggs. You can substitute pasteurized egg whites for both the fresh yolks and whites if you are concerned about eating raw eggs; follow the manufacturer's conversion amounts.
