Ingredients
8ouncessemi-sweet chocolate(226 grams), chopped
1/2cupheavy cream(125 ml)
2tablespoonsbutter(30 grams), cubed
1cupchocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella(295 grams)
Approximately 1 cup hazelnuts(142 grams), finely chopped
Instructions
In a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, add the chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Heat until melted and combined, stirring frequently. Remove from heat when most chocolate is melted but a few small chunks remain. Continue to stir off heat until smooth.
Stir in chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until firm and scoop-able. You can speed this process up by placing in the freezer for 30 minutes, then transferring to the fridge.
Use a tablespoon to scoop and portion chocolate, and roll in your hands to form a ball. Wipe hands clean in between every few truffles as needed.
Roll in crushed hazelnuts.
Store in the fridge until ready to serve. Truffles will keep for a week or more.
