Directions

1. Make the Cream
   Mix mascarpone and chocolate spread until smooth. Set aside 40 g of the mixture and transfer the rest to a piping bag.

3. Assemble the Ladyfinger Sandwiches
   Pipe a dollop of the cream mixture onto one ladyfinger. Top with another ladyfinger and press gently to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers.
4. Coat the Sides
   Spread the reserved 40 g of cream around the edges of each sandwich.
5. Dip and Roll
   Briefly dip each sandwich into the cooled chocolate mixture. Immediately roll or press the sides into chopped hazelnuts.
