Ingredients

Scale

For Hazelnut Filling:

  • 2 cups (10oz/284g) roasted hazelnuts
  • ½ cup (2oz/57g) cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (5oz/142g) maple syrup (agave or honey)

For Coating:

  • 1 cup (6oz/170g) Chocolate, melted
  • 1 cup (5oz/142g) roughly chopped hazelnuts (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Hazelnut Filling: Add the 2 cups (10oz/284g) of hazelnuts into a food processor (keep aside 40-45 hazelnuts for the center) and blend into a fine paste-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add Ingredients: Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup; blend until sticky, about 20 seconds. Ensure the mix is not dry but shapable; continue blending if needed.
  3. Shape and Chill: Roll into small balls, inserting a hazelnut into the center. Refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
  4. Coat in Chocolate: Dip each Ferrero Rocher in melted chocolate, let excess drip off. Coat in chopped hazelnuts and place on parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill and Serve: Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. Keeps fresh for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • For a richer taste, use dark chocolate for coating.
