Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further than these chocolate hazelnut truffles!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of hazelnuts
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
Next, place the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir until everything is well combined. Finally, stir in the toasted hazelnuts. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to roll into balls. Once the mixture has chilled, use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the mixture into small balls, then roll them in cocoa powder or chopped hazelnuts.
Serve and enjoy these decadent chocolate hazelnut truffles with a cup of coffee or tea. They also make a great gift for friends and family!
