1 cup	Blackberries
1 cup	Cream
1	Vanilla bean, (split length ways)
1	Icing sugar

To make the meringues; whisk the egg whites until they reach a stiff foam then add the salt and the lemon juice.
Continue whisking while adding a little sugar at a time to create a glossy meringue.
Finely chop the hazelnuts or place into a food processor and pulse until fine. Add the hazelnuts to the meringue.
Preheat the oven to 150 degC. Line a baking tray and either pipe the meringues or use a teaspoon. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the meringues are dry and crisp.
Allow to cool then if not using straight away, put into a sealed container.
Serve with plenty of fresh blackberries and cream whisked with the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean. Dust with icing sugar.
