Gluten Free Ferrero Rocher Recipe (Dairy Free & Vegan)

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp free from chocolate spread you can use my homemade healthy nutella recipe - link in this post
  • 3 tbsp chopped hazelnuts crushed further (if you use my chunky nutella recipe no need to add extra)
  • whole hazelnuts
  • gluten free wafers to crush (I used gluten free ice cream wafer cones - you probably only need a couple)
  • 50g chopped hazelnuts to mix with the melted chocolate (you can add more or less measurement for this is aprox)
  • 200g dark chocolate to melt

Instructions

  • Place your chopped hazelnuts in a bag and crush further with a rolling pin.
  • Spoon 5 tbsp of chocolate spread into a freezer proof bowl and add around 2-3 tbsp of your chopped/crushed hazelnuts, mix very thoroughly. (If you are using my chunky, healthy, vegan chocolate spread recipe then you don't need to add additional hazelnuts as there are plenty in it!)
  • Place in the freezer for about 45 minutes
  • Bring out the freezer and allow to soften a tiny bit for around 10 minutes (so that it's more workable and not so solid).
  • Grab a small amount of the mixture and place a whole hazelnut in the centre. Roll the mix in your hands into a ball (your hands will get messy - make sure your hands are cold - if they get too hot, clean your hands up and cool with cold water)
  • Place your balls on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for around 20 - 30 minutes (until they are solid)
  • Whilst your balls are freezing crush up some gluten free wafer, I used gluten free ice cream cones for this (anything light like a wafer will work here).
  • Remove your balls from the freezer and leave for about 5 minutes.
  • Next, roll your balls in the gluten free wafer, it should stick really well because you left the balls out for 5 minutes. Then just put them back in the freezer whilst you do the next step.
  • Melt some dairy free dark chocolate in a glass dish over a saucepan of simmering water, once melted allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add some chopped hazelnuts to the melted chocolate and mix in thoroughly.
  • Remove the balls once more from the freezer and coat them in the melted chocolate.
  • Back onto the baking sheet and leave to set in the freezer - this shouldn't take long.
  • When you want to eat them, they are best served chilled from the fridge rather than straight from the freezer or room temp - so keep them in the fridge!
  • Enjoy!!
