With these vegan Ferrero Rocher balls aka chocolate hazelnut candies will not only melt yourself, but also make your friends melt! Of course, vegan and gluten-free - also super easy!
First, melt the cacao butter together with the hazelnut cacao in a heatproof bowl in a water bath and take it off the heat.
While stirring, add the coconut milk, hazelnut butter, vanilla, and salt. The mixture should become more and more solid, but it should still be possible to stir it. Now place the bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Preparing the frosting
Meanwhile, chop the hazelnuts and toast them in a pan over medium heat.
Also, for the glaze, melt the cocoa butter and hazelnut cocoa again in a small bowl in a water bath, this time with a little coconut oil.
Roll them up!
After about 30-40 minutes in the freezer, the mass should be cooled enough for you to form it into balls. To do this, take a teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut mixture, put a hazelnut in it, form a ball, roll it in the roasted hazelnut pieces, dip it in the chocolate glaze and let it cool on a small grid.
Repeat this until the mixture is used up. The vegan Ferrero Rocher taste best out of the fridge. As always: Enjoy to the fully fullest!
