Scale
- 2 oz (57 g) hazelnuts
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp rum
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- dark chocolate
Instructions
- Toast hazelnuts and skin them.
- Blend the hazelnuts until they release their oils and form a paste.
- Add the remaining ingredients, combine, and roll into balls.
- Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler.
- Dip the nut balls in the melted chocolate.
- Line the dipped balls on parchment paper and let them set completely.
- Optionally, sprinkle with more nuts while the chocolate is warm or decorate with more chocolate after the first coating sets.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, process the hazelnut paste in a food processor until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Toasted hazelnuts will enhance the flavor profile of the truffles. Ensure they are well-toasted but not burnt.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving for optimal enjoyment.
