Cookies
Cream
- 250 g mascarpone, at room temperature
- 250 g chocolate spread, at room temperature
Chocolate Mixture
- 150 ml milk
- 55 g chocolate spread
Garnish
- Hazelnuts, finely chopped
- Prepare the Cream: Mix the mascarpone and chocolate spread together until smooth and well combined. Set aside 40 g of this cream mixture for coating and place the remaining cream in a piping bag for assembling the dessert.
- Make the Chocolate Mixture: Heat the milk in a pan until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate spread until completely smooth. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature to prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the Base Layers: Take one ladyfinger and pipe a dollop of the cream on top. Place a second ladyfinger on top and press down firmly to sandwich the cream between the cookies.
- Coat with Cream: Use the reserved 40 g cream mixture to spread and cover the sides of the ladyfinger sandwich evenly.
- Dip in Chocolate Mixture: Briefly dip the assembled ladyfinger sandwich into the cooled chocolate mixture, ensuring all sides are covered evenly.
- Coat with Hazelnuts: Immediately coat the dipped dessert in finely chopped hazelnuts, pressing gently to adhere the nuts to the chocolate coating.
- Place in Liners: Set each hazelnut-coated pastry onto a small paper cupcake liner or a decorative plate for presentation.
- Finish with Cream Dollop: Using the piping bag, pipe a decorative dollop of the cream on top of each pastry to complete the Ferrero Rocher look.
Notes
- Ensure mascarpone and chocolate spread are at room temperature to achieve a smooth cream.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool completely before dipping to avoid soggy ladyfingers.
- Use a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle for a decorative top dollop.
- Optionally, add a whole hazelnut or a piece of chocolate on top of the cream for an extra touch.
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles can be used alongside or instead of hazelnuts for variety.
- Serve in small cupcake liners or on decorative plates for a polished presentation.
- Prepare a few hours in advance and store in the fridge to keep desserts firm and fresh.
