Nutella Chocolate Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
200g (7oz) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
02 -
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
03 -
1 cup (240g) Nutella
→ For Coating (Optional)
04 -
1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
05 -
1/2 cup (50g) hazelnuts, finely chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop the chocolate finely and put it in a bowl that can handle heat. Warm up the heavy cream in a small pot over medium flame until you see a simmer. Don’t let it reach a full boil.
02 -
Pour the heated cream onto the chopped-up chocolate. Leave it untouched for a minute or two so the chocolate starts melting. Then stir gently till it’s smooth and shiny.
03 -
Combine the Nutella with the chocolate mix and keep stirring. Mix until it’s silky, blended, and has an even texture.
04 -
Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing the film so it directly covers the ganache surface to stop skin from forming. Let it chill for 2-3 hours in the fridge until thick enough to scoop.
05 -
After chilling, scoop out bits of the ganache using a melon baller or small spoon. Roll the bits between your hands quickly to form round balls. If it softens too much, pop it back into the fridge.
06 -
Set out bowls with the coatings you’re using. Gently roll each truffle in hazelnuts, cocoa powder, or any mix you like. Get rid of any extra coating by shaking lightly.
07 -
Place the truffles into a container that seals tight. If you need to stack, keep layers separated with parchment paper. Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes to let them fully set.
# Notes:
01 -
These Nutella treats are rich, velvety, and blend hazelnut goodness with creamy ganache for a fancy, melt-in-your-mouth delight.
02 -
For some crunch, try pressing a roasted hazelnut in the middle of each truffle, or add a dash of hazelnut liqueur for a grown-up touch.
