Ingredients
- 24 pieces Hazelnuts (toasted, peeled, and whole)
- 200 grams Nutella
- 100 grams Wafer cookies (plain, vanilla, or hazelnut-flavored)
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate (chopped or in chips)
- 75 grams Chopped hazelnuts (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
1. Toast and peel the hazelnuts if not already done. Set aside 24 whole hazelnuts for the truffle centers.
Step 2
2. Place the wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
3. Add the Nutella to the wafer crumbs and mix with a spatula or clean hands until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 4
4. Take about 1 tablespoon of the Nutella-wafer mixture, flatten it slightly, and press a whole hazelnut into the center. Roll it into a ball, ensuring the hazelnut is fully enclosed. Repeat for the remaining mixture and hazelnuts.
Step 5
5. Place the rolled truffles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Step 6
6. While the truffles are chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Step 7
7. Prepare the chopped hazelnuts for coating by spreading them on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
Step 8
8. Remove the truffles from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off slightly before rolling it in the chopped hazelnuts.
Step 9
9. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray and allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.
Step 10
10. Serve the Ferrero Rocher truffles or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
