Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Nutella
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Butter
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the melted chocolate.
Add the butter to the chocolate and cream mixture, stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Fold in the Nutella until fully incorporated, creating a creamy ganache.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the chilled ganache into bite-sized balls. Roll them gently between your hands to create smooth truffles.
Spread the cocoa powder onto a plate and roll each truffle in the powder to coat evenly.
Place the finished truffles onto a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set completely.
Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
