No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles (Printer-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
25 OREO THINS cookies (half of a 13.1 oz. package)
02 -
4 ounces cream cheese, room-temperature
03 -
⅔ cup Nutella
04 -
¼ tsp salt
05 -
10 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
06 -
Chocolate sprinkles for garnish
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Line a small rimmed baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside
02 -
In the bowl of a food processor add the OREO THINS cookies and pulse until you have very fine cookie crumbs. This will take 1-2 minutes
03 -
To the cookie crumbs add the cream cheese, Nutella and salt. Pulse an additional 1-2 minutes or until a ball forms in the bowl of your food processor. All the ingredients should be completely combined and smooth
04 -
Carefully remove the bowl, and blade from your food processor and place the Nutella truffle mixture into the refrigerator to chill for 30-45 minutes. It should be firm enough to hold the shape of a ball
05 -
Using a small 1½ in., or 1 tablespoon sized, cookie scoop you will scoop out a leveled amount and roll it in the palm of your hand to form a ball. Place the ball of Nutella truffle onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat until all the truffles have been made
06 -
Place the tray of Nutella truffles into the refrigerator to chill for an additional 1-1½ hours or until they are firm and hold their shape
07 -
Once your Nutella truffles have chilled you can make the chocolate coating by melting the milk chocolate wafers, in a small bowl, according to your package directions
08 -
Using a large fork you will place 1 truffle onto the prongs of the fork and gently dip the truffle into the melting chocolate. Evenly coat the truffle with the chocolate then using the fork, lift it out of the chocolate allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl
09 -
Place the chocolate coated truffle back onto the parchment lined baking tray and sprinkle a few of the chocolate sprinkles onto the top as a garnish. Repeat until all the truffles are coated and garnished. You can place your tray back into the refrigerator to harden the outer coating for an additional 5-10 minutes or they can sit at room-temperature until they are hard
