4. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup hazelnuts and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside.
5. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry until it is 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into 4 inch squares.
6. Place 1 tablespoon of cold Shootflying Hill dessert sauce near the bottom corner of each square. Sprinkle it with hazelnuts.
