Ingredients
⅓ cup hazelnut butter (90 g)
⅓ cup dairy-free cream (85 ml)
3.5 oz vegan milk chocolate (100 g), plus extra for coating
2 TBS maple syrup (30 ml)
¼ tsp sea salt
20 blanched hazelnuts, plus extra for chopping
Instructions
- Gently heat dairy-free cream in a saucepan until warm (not boiling).
- Pour over 100 g vegan milk chocolate in a bowl, let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Whisk in hazelnut butter, maple syrup, and sea salt to form a ganache.
- Cool slightly, then refrigerate 1–2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
- Scoop small portions, press a blanched hazelnut into the center, and roll into balls. Chill again until firm.
- Melt extra vegan chocolate and finely chop hazelnuts.
- Dip each truffle ball into melted chocolate, then roll in chopped hazelnuts (or sprinkle on top).
- Set on parchment paper until coating hardens before serving.
Notes
Swap vegan milk chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer version.
Add crushed wafers with hazelnuts to mimic the classic texture.
Roll in cocoa powder or coconut instead of nuts for variety.
A splash of hazelnut liqueur enhances flavor.
Tempering chocolate keeps coating glossy and stable.
