Note

This recipe contains raw eggs. Ensure you use fresh, high-quality, preferably pasteurized eggs to minimize any food safety risks, especially if serving to children, pregnant women, or immunocompromised individuals.

For best flavor, ensure the hazelnuts are freshly roasted and finely ground. If using pre-ground hazelnuts, check for freshness as they can turn rancid quickly.

The torte will firm up significantly as it chills. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
