Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 75 grams hazelnut spread
- 50 grams hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Stir in the unsalted butter, hazelnut spread, and a pinch of sea salt until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
Step 7
Once the mixture is firm, use a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls between your palms.
Step 8
Roll each truffle in the finely chopped hazelnuts to coat. Alternatively, you can roll some in unsweetened cocoa powder for variety.
Step 9
Place the coated truffles on a lined tray. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
Step 10
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before eating for the best texture and flavor.
