Here’s a homemade Ferrero Rocher-style chocolate truffles recipe—creamy, nutty, and irresistible:
🍫 Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Truffles
🧾 Ingredients (Makes ~12 truffles)
For the filling:
- 100g (3.5 oz) hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
- 100g (3.5 oz) Nutella or chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 50g (1.7 oz) milk chocolate, melted
For the coating:
- 100g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate, melted
- 50g (1.7 oz) chopped hazelnuts
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Toast the hazelnuts
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet, roast 8–10 minutes until golden
- Rub in a towel to remove skins
2. Make the filling
- Chop half the toasted hazelnuts roughly
- Mix with Nutella and melted milk chocolate until smooth
- Chill for 30 minutes to firm up
3. Form the truffles
- Roll mixture into small balls (~1 inch)
- Press a whole hazelnut into the center of each ball
4. Coat the truffles
- Dip balls into melted milk chocolate
- Roll immediately in chopped hazelnuts to coat
- Place on parchment paper to set
5. Chill & serve
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firm
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge
💡 Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor
- Toasting hazelnuts enhances the nutty aroma
- For extra crunch, pulse hazelnuts coarsely instead of finely chopping for coating
If you want, I can give you a fancier “homemade gold-wrapped” version that looks just like store-bought Ferrero Rocher—perfect for gifts.
Do you want me to do that?
