These hazelnut balls are a healthier, homemade alternative to Ferrero Rocher chocolates and they are the absolute best. They are so easy to make, you only need 4 ingredients and there is no extra sugar added!

4-Ingredient Healthy Ferrero Balls

hazelnuts

Medjool dates

tsp salt

tbsp cacao powder

Stevia / sweetener (optional)

hazelnut cocoa butter (Nutella or homemade)

Chill some Nutella in the freezer for about 30 mins so it solidifies a little.

Add 1/2 of the hazelnuts, all of the Medjool dates, salt and cacao powder into a food processor. Process it until its mixed well

Add the rest of the hazelnuts and give it a quick blitz. Make sure to not over-process it. You want your remaining hazelnuts to stay pretty coarse so there's a good crunch to it.

Pop the mixture into the fridge for about 20 mins to chill.

To assemble the balls, take a palm-sized amount of your date mixture, roll it up into a ball then press down in the center until you create a little crater. Fill the crater up 3/4 of the way with your chilled Nutella, then press the sides back together to seal it up.

Give it another little roll to turn it back into the shape of a ball, repeat with the rest of your mixture and you're done!

Do you love hazelnut coffee? With this homemade Hazelnut Syrup, you can easily make your own flavored coffee at home! Plus, there are so many other things you can use this deliciously flavored simple syrup for!

Hazelnut Syrup

water

sugar

Put water, sugar, and chopped hazelnuts (or extract) in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until mixture has thickened a bit. Remove from heat. If using nuts, I recommend letting the syrup rest for about 30 minutes to let the hazelnut flavor continue to steep into the syrup.

If using nuts, strain the mixture into a heat-proof bowl, leaving behind the hazelnuts (I recommend saving them for snacking or topping ice cream with!). If using extract, simply pour syrup into a heat-proof bowl or mason jar.
