Why You’ll Love Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles

Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles are creamy with the smooth chocolate. They are nutty and crunchy consisting of roasted Hazelnuts. It is easy to make and they are perfect for gifting to loved ones.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder, for rolling



Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

  1. Heat Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to boil.

  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate.

  3. Stir Until Smooth: Stir the chocolate and cream mixture with a spatula until smooth and well combined. If needed, you can gently heat the mixture over a double boiler to melt any remaining chocolate.

  4. Add Butter and Vanilla: Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the ganache. Stir until the butter is fully incorporated.

  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.



Step 2: Shape the Truffles

  1. Form Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to scoop out portions of the chilled ganache. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls.

  2. Roll in Hazelnuts: Roll each truffle ball in the finely chopped roasted hazelnuts until evenly coated. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. Chill Again: Once all truffles are coated, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Finish and Serve

  1. Roll in Cocoa Powder: Just before serving, roll each chilled truffle in cocoa powder to give them a velvety finish.

  2. Store: Store the Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for Perfect Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles

  • Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for rich flavor.
  • Consistency: Ensure the ganache is well-chilled before shaping into balls to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Coating Options: If you prefer, you can coat the truffles in melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder for a glossy finish.



Happy Cooking!
