Top Tips for Making these Ferrero Rocher Style Truffles
- Choose the Right Chocolate
Use high-quality chocolate for melting to ensure a smooth and glossy shell. Chocolate with at least 30% cocoa solids works best. - Keep the Filling Cool
Chilling the filling balls before coating them in chocolate prevents them from softening and ensures a neat, even coating. - Work Quickly with Melted Chocolate
Melted chocolate can thicken as it cools. If needed, gently reheat it in short intervals to maintain a fluid consistency. - Use a Fork for Coating
When dipping the balls in melted chocolate, use a fork to roll and lift them. This helps remove excess chocolate and gives a clean finish. - Customise the Coating
For extra crunch and flavour, mix crushed hazelnuts or almonds with the peanuts, or use sprinkles for a fun twist.
Storage Advice
- At Room Temperature:
Store the truffles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent the chocolate from melting. - In the Refrigerator:
If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the truffles in an airtight container for up to a week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavour. - In the Freezer:
For longer storage, freeze the truffles in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 pack of chocolate wafers (about 120-150g, crushed)
- 3/4 cup peanuts
- 1 tbsp chocolate spread
For the Chocolate Shell:
- 200 g melted chocolate (milk or dark, as preferred)
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts (for coating)
How to make Ferrero Rocher Style Truffles
1. Prepare the Filling:
- Place the chocolate wafers in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed.
- Add 1/2 cup of the peanuts and pulse again until the peanuts are roughly chopped and mixed with the wafer crumbs.
- Transfer this mixture to a bowl, add the chocolate spread, and mix until the ingredients form a sticky, moldable dough.
- Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. (Optional: if you’d like a whole peanut centre, place a peanut in the middle of each ball as you roll.)
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
2. Coat with Chocolate:
- Place the reserved 1/4 cup of peanuts in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed (but not powdered) for a crunchy coating.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off.
- Roll the chocolate-coated ball in the crushed peanuts to create a textured outer layer.
- Place each coated ball back on the parchment paper.
3. Set and Serve:
- Let the chocolates set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate shell is firm (about 15-20 minutes).
- Once set, your homemade Ferrero Rocher chocolates are ready to enjoy!
