Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 g) Nutella
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 200 g (7 oz) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (30 g) cocoa powder, for rolling (or crushed hazelnuts, powdered sugar, or sprinkles for variety)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ganache Base:
- Place the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Incorporate the Nutella:
- Add the Nutella to the chocolate mixture and stir until completely combined and glossy.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into small balls between your hands. Work quickly to prevent the truffles from melting.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, crushed hazelnuts, powdered sugar, or sprinkles until evenly coated.
- Store and Serve:
- Place the truffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For an extra hazelnut crunch, press a whole roasted hazelnut into the center of each truffle before rolling.
- Use milk chocolate for a sweeter version or dark chocolate for a richer taste.
- Truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
