Here’s a simple and indulgent way to make Ferrero Rocher-style Chocolate Truffles at home:
Ingredients (makes ~12 truffles)
- 12 whole hazelnuts (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup finely crushed wafer cookies (like a thin crisp wafer)
- 1 cup Nutella (or any chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 200 g milk chocolate (for coating)
- 2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the center
- Take each whole hazelnut and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed wafers and Nutella until it forms a thick, moldable paste.
- Form the truffles
- Take a small amount of the mixture and flatten it in your hand.
- Place a whole hazelnut in the center and carefully roll the mixture around it to form a ball.
- Repeat until all truffles are formed.
- Chill the truffles
- Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Coat in chocolate
- Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
- Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Optional finishing touch
- Roll in chopped hazelnuts or place on a small whole hazelnut for decoration.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge.
💡 Tips:
- Keep them refrigerated if you like a firmer texture.
- You can swap Nutella for dark chocolate ganache for a richer taste.
If you want, I can also give a quick 3-ingredient version that tastes almost identical but is super fast to make. Do you want me to do that?
