1 egg
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1/8 cup finely-chopped hazelnuts
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk 
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon hot water
2 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped

In a large bowl, beat egg with flour, sugar, instant coffee, hazelnuts, and cornstarch until well blended.

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add milk and bring almost to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture. Return all the ingredients to the saucepan, cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and comes to a boil. Remove from the heat.

Fold in the whipped cream. Refrigerate until thick.
