Ingrediënten
Use a small scale to measure equal portions of the chocolate mixture for consistent sizes.
Allow the chocolate mixture to firm up sufficiently, at least 1-2 hours. If it’s too soft, shaping the balls will be difficult.
Chocolate can melt quickly from the warmth of your hands. Wash your hands with cold water in between or use a bit of powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Experiment with other nuts like almonds or pistachios.
Use the type of chocolate you enjoy most for the best flavor.

Stappenplan
1 Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just below boiling point. Add the chopped chocolate, remove the pan from the heat, and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool. |
2 Place the chocolate ganache in a bowl. Add 100 g of chopped hazelnuts and mix well. |
3 Refrigerate the mixture until it firms up enough to shape. |
4 Take approximately 12 g of the chocolate mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a chocolate hazelnut in the center and fold the chocolate mixture around it. Roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture. |
5 Place the chocolate balls on a sheet of baking paper and freeze them for 30 minutes to firm up. |
6 Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler. |
7 Transfer the melted white chocolate to a bowl and mix in 15 g of chopped hazelnuts. Stir well. |
8 Dip the cold chocolate balls completely into the melted white chocolate and place them on a sheet of baking paper. Let the balls harden at room temperature. |
