Nutella Truffles

These truffles are a mixture of chocolate, cream, butter, chopped hazelnuts and

heavenly Nutella.

This easy gourmet food recipe is totally foolproof. You can’t mess it up. That’s

how simple it is!

Start by heating the heavy cream till the boiling point and put it over soften butter

and the finely chopped chocolate (I’ve used Scharffen Berger 70% but you can use

60 or even darker if you prefer as long as it’s not milk chocolate). Let it sit for few

moments and stir until the mixtures becomes smooth, shiny and uniform. Now

add Nutella and finally chopped hazelnuts. Mix until combined and chill until easy

to handle.

After the mixture is chilled enough to handle, take small pieces (little over a

teaspoon) and roll them between your palms to get them (somehow) round. If it

gets too sticky, dust your palms with a little cocoa powder.

Once all the balls are done the fun begins. Take out your sprinkles and rolls the

truffles to cover. Alternately you can use cocoa powder, powder sugar or finely

chopped hazelnuts, but I think the sprinkles are more fun to work with and make

the truffles even more irresistible. Don’t you think so?

When you’re done, pour yourself a glass of cold milk, sink your teeth into this

little ball of rich creamy chocolate candy and hide. You’ll have a hard time sharing

these little treasures.
