Description
Decadent hazelnut chocolate truffles that combine rich chocolate and roasted hazelnuts for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
- Cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes for rolling
Instructions
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to portion out the chocolate mixture. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll in cocoa powder, chopped hazelnuts, or coconut flakes.
- Place truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
- Dust with cocoa powder or sprinkle sea salt before serving.
