Ingredients

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (226 grams), chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (125 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (30 grams), cubed
  • 1 cup chocolate-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.

Notes

NOTES:
  • This recipe uses almost one entire 13-oz jar of Nutella.
