Tips For Making Homemade Ferrero Rocher Chocolates

Instead of rolling the truffle balls into the chopped hazelnuts and then subsequently dipping them in chocolate, you can add the hazelnuts after dipping. This is for people who prefer to have the hazelnuts on the outside of the chocolate.

Description
These easy vegan ferrero rocher truffles are soft and full of delicious hazelnut flavours. If you love a copycat recipe here is a yummy one.
Ingredients
Filling:
- 100g vegan dark chocolate (chopped)
- 120g full fat coconut milk* (the thick part on top) (see notes)
- 100g hazelnut butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 12 hazelnut kernels (skinless)
- 80g finely chopped hazelnuts
Chocolate coating:
- 150g vegan dark chocolate (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons hazelnut butter
Instructions
Preparation:
- Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside for later.
Make the truffles:
- Place the chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut milk to a saucepan over a medium-low heat until it is simmering. Pour the heated coconut milk onto the chocolate and then leave the mixture to sit for a few minutes.
- Stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon then add the hazelnut butter, salt, maple syrup. Stir again until it’s nice and smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool, then place it into the freezer for 30 minutes to solidify.
- Immediately, scoop the hardened chocolate with a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop and roll into balls with your hands. They should be about the size of ping pong balls. Press a hazelnut kernel into the centre of each ball then roll each truffle in the chopped hazelnuts.
- Place the balls into the freezer on the lined baking tray for 2 hours.
Make the chocolate coating:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the chocolate and hazelnut butter to a heatproof mixing bowl over a pan of almost boiling water. Stir regularly over a medium-low heat until the mixture has melted fully.
- Dip each of the truffles into the melted chocolate mixture then place them onto a cooling rack covered with parchment paper to set at room temperature.
- Allow the vegan Ferrero Rocher truffles to defrost and enjoy.
Notes
- Refrigerate the coconut milk can overnight so that the milk thickens.
