Method
- Heat oven to 180 degrees .
- On a baking tray, spread out all of the hazelnuts and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and wrap in a clean tea towel.
- Rub the nuts with the tea towel to remove the hazelnut skins.
- Set aside 35 whole hazelnuts then finely chop the rest.
- In a small bowl, mix the chocolate hazelnut spread, hazelnut meal and chopped hazelnuts until well combined.
- Freeze until the mixture is stiff enough to be moulded and rolled into balls.
- Working quickly while the mixture is stiff, mold one slightly heaped teaspoon of choc hazelnut mixture around 1 whole hazelnut, then roll in the chopped ice-cream wafers.
- Freeze again until the balls are firm.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler (a metal dish over a saucepan of simmering water), chocolate melting appliance or microwave and coat each ball draining off excess chocolate.
- Let sit until set then store in the fridge. Devour with friends and family!
