Recipe - Hazelnut Pavlova With Chocolate Sauce

4 Egg whites
1 pn Salt
1 One half cup Sugar
1 One half teaspoon Vinegar
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Ground hazelnuts

CHOCOLATE SAUCE
1 pack (large) semisweet
chocolate; melted in
double boiler
Cointreau

Oil and flour a 9" springform tin. Preheat oven to 300.

Beat egg whites and salt at full speed until they stand in peaks. Sift
sugar and sprinkle in 1 tablespoon at a time, still beating on high speed.
Fold in the vinegar, vanilla, and hazelnuts.

Pour into prepared tin and bake at 300 for 1 hour. Turn off heat and leave
pan in oven until it is cold. When it is cold, remove it from tin (it will
collapse slightly).

Before serving, fill the center with vanilla ice cream (you can also used
whipped cream), and pour over the chocolate sauce, then sprinkle more
chopped hazelnuts on top.

Chocolate Sauce: She did not give me any measurements for the sauce (and I
haven't made it in about 10 years and don't remember how much I put in
possible 1 or 2 tablespoons), so I guess just add the Cointreau "to taste".
(actually, if you "taste" too often, you may not be able to taste anymore
which may also be the reason I don't remember how much I put in!!!!).
