How to Prepare
Ingredients
- Makes 7 Healthy Ferrero Rochers
- 350g of roasted hazelnuts, with all skins removed.
- 8-10 pitted dates
- 1 tbsp. of cacao powder
- 2 tbsp. of honey
- 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
- 250g of 80% melted dark chocolate
- 200g of chopped, roasted hazelnuts or almonds
Method
- Roast 350g of hazelnuts in a hot oven at 180C for 10 minutes until the skins begin to crack.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before placing the nuts in the palm of your hands, rubbing together to remove all skins.
- Place roasted hazelnuts, dates, cacao powder, protein powder and honey into a food processor.
- Blitz together until a smooth, thick sticky mixture begins to form.
- If the mixture is not blending together do no be afraid to add a little more honey.
- Once mixture is ready, roll it into 7-10 bite sized balls.
- Once all mixture is used, begin to cut a small incision into each ball and place a roasted hazelnut in the middle before re-rolling into a ball again.
- Now in the food processor blitz together the second 200g of nuts or these can purchased already chopped in most health shops or major supermarkets.
- Once the nuts are blitz into tiny pieces, place in a bowl to one side.
- Melt your 80% dark chocolate in another bowl and one by one dip in one of the hazelnut balls, making sure it is fully coated in chocolate before removing.
- Now dip your chocolate coated ball into the bowl of chopped nuts, rolling until fully coated.
- Set to one side to fully harden.
- Store in a cool dry container. These will keep for 7-10 days fresh! (if they can last that long)
Enjoy!
