Hi Bold Bakers!
Homemade chocolates are a really lovely gift to give around the holidays.
So I am going to show you how you can make homemade Ferrero Rocher so you can give them
as an edible gift to friends and family.
So lets get baking.
So the first ingredient in our homemade Ferrero Rochers are toasted hazelnuts that have been
de-shelled.
If you want to take the shells of hazel nuts all you have to do is when they are warm out
of the oven.
Rub them in a tea towel and that will take the shells off.
So just add them into a food processor.
Now you do need a food processor to make this recipe and you cam also use a food blender,
you just might need a little more moving around in there.
Okay so on with your lid and just start to blend.
Now if you have made my homemade nutella or my homemade peanut butter you’ll know that
you would want this to form a paste.
It will take around 2 to 3 minutes and all the oils will come out of the nuts and create
this lovely creamy paste and that’s what we are looking for.
So it has been a few minutes I can smell the hazel nuts and this is what they are to look
like.
You see how soft this is.
Almost like a paste.
It only takes a few minutes to get it to this stage.
So we are looking good.
Now into this we are going to add in the rest of the ingredients.
I have some unsweetened coco powder here.
Good quality coco powder and we are going to add that in.
And next we are going to add in our sweetness.
Now this is maple syrup.
You can also use agave or honey.
Next is our vanilla extract now this is our homemade vanilla extract.
This just adds really lovely flavor and compliments the chocolate.
And lastly in with our salt.
Now you know how I feel about baking and salt.
Everything needs a little bit of salt.
Okay so now back on with our lid.
All you want to do is just blend this up until it is well combined together.
Okay good so just in a few seconds.
This is what your mix should look like.
A lovely chocolaty soft mix.
Now we are going to set this aside and we are going to get ready to assemble our Ferrero
Rocher.
So to assemble our Ferrero Rochers it is really easy.
I am just going to take a little lump of our hazel nut mixture into our hands and here
I have some toasted hazel nuts.
I am just going to pop him in the center of my hazelnut mix.
And just form a little ball.
Now be generous with your hazelnut mix around your Ferrero Rocher because that is my favorite
part.
You don't want to skimp on that.
It’s important to have this mix soft because if it’s dry.
It will be really hard to form your little chocolates.
Now we want to pop it into the fridge for roughly an hour, because we want them to firm
up before we did them in chocolate.
So my Ferrero Rochers are out of the fridge they are nice and cold.
So I am going to dip them into a nice bowl of melted chocolate.
Now all you want to do here is give them a little coating.
Make sure there is chocolate all over and just let any excess drip off.
Then drunk it into a bowl with chopped hazel nuts.
And then just scatter the hazelnuts all over giving him a good coating.
And then we are going to go again with the rest of our chocolates.
Dunk.
Drip.
And then into the hazelnuts.
Now make sure the hazel nuts are extra toasted to give extra flavor to our Ferrero Rocher.
I remember growing up my mom used to have Ferrero Rochers for dinner parties and I just
though that they were the height of sophistication.
Our Ferrero Rochers have all been dipped and rolled and they look like the real thing.
Now just like real Ferrero Rochers they have that iconic gold paper.
And I have some right here.
It’s candy paper.
And I’m going to put a link on my website: BiggerBolderBaking.com.
Where you can buy this along with our recipe for Ferrero Rochers.
Now all you want to do is wrap your Ferrero Rochers in this gold paper and this will make
them a beautiful edible gift.
So if you like these Ferrero Rochers then give this video a thumbs up and let me know
in the comments bellow what kind of candies and chocolates that you would like to see
me making.
Ohhh now it’s my time to try one.
These Ferrero Rochers will last in room tempter or in your fridge for up to eight days.
Oh my God.
Just look at this.
See how wonderful that looks.
The soft chocolate center, and the hard shell and the nuts all on the outside.
This is absolutely wonderful.
These are gorgeous chocolates that I am sure anybody would love a gift of this holiday
season.
Thank you so much for watching and I will see you back every Monday and Thursday for
more Bigger Bolder Baking.
