Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Chop toasted hazelnuts coarsely and set aside.

Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, then let cool slightly.

Whisk eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Fold in the melted chocolate gently until combined.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract and salt until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.

Add chopped hazelnuts and mix to combine.

Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap, smoothing the top.

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.

To serve, remove from the pan and slice into thick pieces.

Garnish with additional hazelnuts or chocolate shavings if desired.
