Easy, crunchy and delicious homemade chocolate truffles made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for parties, special occasions or whenever you fancy something sweet!
Ingredients
200 g chocolate wafers
100 g chocolate
100 g hazelnuts
150 g chocolate for coating
Instructions
1. Crush the wafers. Blend the wafers in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs.
2. Melt the chocolate. Break 100 g of chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir until smooth.
3. Make the mixture. Add the melted chocolate to the crushed wafers and mix well until the mixture is easy to shape.
4. Add the hazelnuts. Place a whole hazelnut in the centre of each truffle, or mix finely chopped hazelnuts into the wafer mixture.
5. Shape the truffles. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small, evenly sized balls.
6. Coat with chocolate. Melt the remaining 150 g of chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it is completely coated.
7. Chill until set. Place the truffles on baking paper and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has hardened.
Tips
For an even richer flavour, use lightly roasted hazelnuts. They add a wonderful aroma and a delicious crunch to these homemade chocolate truffles.
