Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Whole hazelnuts
- 180 grams Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 100 grams Wafers (plain or hazelnut-flavored, finely crushed)
- 200 grams Milk chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 100 grams Chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
Prepare 24 whole hazelnuts by toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
Scoop out small teaspoons of Nutella and drop them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place one toasted hazelnut in the center of each Nutella drop, then form the Nutella around the hazelnut to create small balls. You should have 24 hazelnut-filled Nutella balls. Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
While the Nutella-hazelnut balls are chilling, crush the wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl.
Remove the Nutella-hazelnut balls from the freezer. Roll each ball in the crushed wafer crumbs, pressing gently to coat them evenly. Once all the balls are coated in wafer crumbs, freeze them again for another 10–15 minutes.
Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Using a fork, dip each Nutella-wafer ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle or roll the coated truffles in the chopped hazelnuts, ensuring an even layer of nuts covers the surface.
Allow the coated chocolates to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to harden completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Ferrero Rocher chocolates! Store them in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one week.
