Servings 9 VEGAN FERRERO ROCHERS

Ingredients

**Truffles**

  • 1 1/4 cups roasted hazelnuts skins removed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 9 roasted hazelnuts for the center

**Topping**

  • 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts chopped for coating
  • 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil for melting chocolate

Instructions

  • If using raw hazelnuts, roast them in the oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes. Then, remove the skins by rubbing them in a clean dish towel for about 5 minutes.
  • Add roasted hazelnuts to a food processor or blender and blend until a butter forms (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Mix in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup until you have a workable dough.
  • Roll dough into balls, placing a roasted hazelnut in the center of each. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Melt vegan dark chocolate until smooth. Pulse 1/2 cup hazelnuts in a food processor until chopped, then set aside.
  • Dip truffles in melted chocolate, then coat in chopped hazelnuts. Freeze for another 20 minutes until set.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Save time by opting for pre-roasted hazelnuts.
  • Easily remove hazelnut skins by rubbing them in a clean dish towel.
  • Don't worry if your hands get oily while rolling; it's natural and won't affect the taste.
