Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams hazelnut spread
- 50 grams hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Using a spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the unsalted butter, hazelnut spread, and a pinch of sea salt until fully incorporated.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
Once the mixture is firm, use a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls between your palms.
Roll each truffle in the finely chopped hazelnuts to coat. Alternatively, you can roll some in unsweetened cocoa powder for variety.
Place the coated truffles on a lined tray. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before eating for the best texture and flavor.
